Powered tandem flight
From the dusk till the dawn
Powered paragliding allows you to see places which are inaccessible with ordinary glider.
We are sure that you will be amazed by the wonderful 360° view which is possible only with this type of flying.
Start and landing? Easier than you would thought…
PAll you need to do is just sit into the harness, we will fasten your seat belt and then just enjoy. The mighty force of the engine will drag you quickly high to the sky. And landing? The pilot will land on the wheels or ski attached to the harness which cannot be possible more comfortable for you.
The tin can…
full of joy and adrenaline
Instant adrenalin in a tin cover – that is a funny possibility to surprise your friends and relatives. The gift package of the thermal flight contains closed tin can with a T-shirt in it and the gift voucher and further instruction.
We will be happy to help you with choosing the right type of flight for you. Both personally in El Speedo office or by phone.
Detail info of the powered flight
When using propeller, we are able to keep the same flight level all time. Thus we are able to reach places which are closed to paragliders. We are using certified gear.
Duration: 15 minutes (30-minute flight costs 2 490 CZK, one-hour flight costs 2 900 CZK – you can ask the pilot to prolong your flight).
When it comes to the duration of whole flying trip with the preparation and everything, we advised that it takes around 60 minutes.
Destinations of powered paragliding
- Beskydy (Prašivá),
- Practically anywhere we are allowed to fly by local restrictions
Suitable flying conditions
This type of flight is offered all year long. The conditions are the best from March to November. Well, in January and February we fly over the land covered by snow and ice.
Demands for the passenger
- the passenger is suitable for both children and adults; all that matters is you weight which should be from 5 to 115 kg
- for the flight itself, we recommend you to wear high trekking shoe with fix ankle, long trousers and windproof jacket. It is nice to have sunglasses when the sun is shining happily.
The flight:
Before the flight itself, there is a short preparation including the instructions for landing. We will adjust the harness to your size and try a little bit of running with the harness. If interested, the tandem pilot will explain you principles of paragliding. Then you will be seated and got a helmet.
After a short running down the hill, you will be flying. You will be seated in front of the pilot, literally in the first row. The flight itself takes roughly from 6 to 12 minutes which depends mainly on current flying condition.
You may shoot your own pictures if you take your camera for flying. However we recommend this option for the thermal flight. It is so much better just to enjoy the view. We offer you to take the pictures or make a video ourselves.
Audience
Of course, you may invite your closest to watch you flying directly on start or they may watch the landing.
The number of passengers:
The tandem glider is just for two persons, ie one pilot and one passenger. However, if interested, let us know in advance that you would like to start within a group and we will gather our crew to fly with you all!
