Tandem flight is a two-person flight with an experienced pilot. Certified operators run a 10–15 minute briefing and provide equipment. The actual flight runs 15–20 minutes; longer slots are possible if the wind is right.
Season and weather
The active season runs spring–autumn, but wind conditions are the deciding factor. If weather isn't right, operators cancel for safety. Keep a buffer day in your itinerary.
