GIFT CERTIFICATES for INTRODUCTORY Flights are Great Gifts for: Father's Day * Birthdays * Graduation * Christmas * Anniversaries * Mother's Day and Valentines, to those who "dream to fly"!

Powered Parachute Introductory Flights

 

Normally - pending the weather and the Instructors' schedules - these flights can betaken Tuesday through Sunday mornings.  Or when the weather settles, sunsets flights maybe available as well.

 

Under normal situations, a 15-minute ($49) or 30-minute ($75) flight will give you a chance to experience all the basic flight characteristics of a powered parachute.  However, if you wish to experience how the powered parachute will fly over specific terrains or land formations, then you may need additional time.

 

For times over 30-minutes, each additional minute is $2.  Hence, a 1-hour flight is $135 ($75 for the 1st 30-minutes plus $60 for the additional 30-minutes - more Cost details follow below). 

 

Appointments can be made via 
Email Us / Phone: 979-282-2005

[Minors (8-17 years old) may take an Introductory Flight, as long as a parent or legal guardian signs the release form and stays present at the field during the flight.]

Please call us the evening before your flight to confirm that the weather conditions are predicted to be suitable.

_____________________________________________________________________

With our training programs - starting with your Introductory Flight, we are striving to standardize the safest, most complete and most straight-forward method for sharing the fantastic sensation of slow-&-low powered parachute (magic-carpet) flight.

_____________________________________________________________________


With our powered parachute Flights, you will:

Discover why the birds SING!

Re-live those childhood 'flying dreams'!

Know the extraordinary facets of the PPC (Powered ParaChute) & why it has:

A remarkable safety record
Low cost
Low maintenance, and
Aerodynamic/Mechanical stability & simplicity

Understand that a Powered Parachute is:

The safest way to FLY!
The easiest aircraft to FLY, and
 The best way to SAIL-THE-SKIES!

When you have an aircraft with the characteristics of a powered parachute, people who otherwise could only dream of flight, can now fly for the sheer pleasure and exhilaration of personal flight.

 

_____________________________________________________________________

 

An Introductory, or Discovery Flight, is a flight that is piloted by an experienced Instructor/CFI.  

During this flight you will be comfortably seated in the 2nd or rear seat of the powered parachute.  You will be able to hear your instructor via aviation helmet/head-phones.  The instructor will demonstrate the use of the simple components used for powered parachute flight while you are flowing over scenic countryside.


[Note: And YES - you may bring your camera or video with you - as this will be a flight that you will never forget.] 

CAUTION!  These flights have been known to cause an addiction for powered parachutes - so be forewarned!  
[I know personally, that if I don't fly every 3 or 4 days, that I begin to go through withdraws!]

 

These flight are geared for someone who has never experienced the sensations of a "Magic Carpet" flight, and would like first hand knowledge as to whether the sport may be suited for them.  

Gift Certificates are now available
call us 979-282-2005 for details!
