Typical Concerns – Our Solutions
Fear of Launching
We only start when you are ready. You must be able to run a few steps downhill while maintaining your balance during takeoff; no cliff jumping is required.
Fear of Heights
Your response to height in flight cannot be predicted. Tell your pilot about your concerns before takeoff.
Loss of Control
You sit securely in the harness in front of the pilot. You can speak to us at any time.
Nausea
Tell the pilot promptly if you feel unwell. The pilot will assess the available options in the current flying conditions.
Good to Know: Immediate Measures
If you feel uncomfortable, we will immediately initiate a calm gliding flight, reduce altitude, and land as soon as the terrain allows. Your well-being is our top priority.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel the flight?
Yes, at any time on the ground. In the air, we will take the fastest and calmest way to the landing site upon request.
How does the pilot react to panic?
Our pilots are calm, speak reassuringly to you, and perform simple breathing exercises while steering the glider safely.
Are there sedatives?
We do not recommend medication, but rely on trust and information. A well-informed passenger does not get panic.
