Your Introductory Flight

Because Powered Paragliding is very weather dependent, your Introductory flight will happen only when weather permits.  You will need download, fill out and sign the liability release form found at the bottom of this page.  Your name will then be on a list.  On a day that  looks good you will be notified by a call or text message that your flight will be available.  If you do not answer and if I can leave you a voice or text message, then you will have 10 minutes to call me back before I reach out to the next person on the list.

On the day of the flight you will have to have had already submitted your liability form to me either in person or by e-mail at DavidWolfe51@Gmail.com and also paid the $150 fee.  We will meet at the agreed upon field. DO NOT BE LATE. We will go through a pre-flight safety briefing and get ready for your big flight.  Because your safety, my safety and the safety of the aircraft will always come first, you should be prepared that if the weather conditions are questionable, we will not fly.  Your money will be completely refunded to you as well if you don‘t fly.   

The weight of the aircraft, pilot and passenger/student must always be taken into account for the safety of everyone.  Therefore, no passenger will be allowed to fly over the weight of 210 pounds.  Additionally, every passenger will have to stand on a scale before the pilot.  This is because the glider is hooked up to the trike and must be balanced on both sides of the connection points.  There is no exception to this rule.

There will be a camera mounted to the helmet you wear as well as the pilot’s.  Both will record audio.  Additionally, a 360 degree camera will be mounted on the aircraft to capture your expressions during your flight. Should you decide to order a video it will be an additional $50 for the video capturing highlighs of the flight and will be approximately 10 minutes long.  This will be delivered on an unlisted YouTube video, meaning, it will only be visible to you and anyone you share the link with.  With your permission, portions of your video may be used for promotional videos by David Wolfe.  Because objects held by passengers may fall and go back in to the prop causing damage, you may not take a phone with you.  Likewise, you may not have anything in your pockets during the time of your flight.

If the pilot feels that there would be no danger, and you would like to take the steering controls, the pilot will hand the toggles which steer the aircraft to you and help you to experience what it is like to steer a powered paraglider.
