Introductory Tandem Hang Gliding - Winch Tow

Introductory Winch-Tow Tandem (min 750ft)
Hope Regional Airpark, BC

This type of tandem is for those who just aren't comfortable with running off a mountain. Your tandem begins with a preflight briefing.  You will then hook in beside your pilot and get ready to launch from wheels, no running necessary.  You will get towed up to minimum of 750 ft (1000 - 1250 ft. avg.) and soar like a bird! Get a birds eye view of the Fraser Valley in all its spleandor!  Once you have settled into the glider your pilot will give you the opportunity to fly.  You can take control or sit back and enjoy the experience!  Once it's time to land, your pilot will glide in for a perfect, smooth landing on wheels.

WHO CAN FLY?
Anyone can fly this tandem.  Since we land and take-off on wheels, there's no effort necessary.  We have flown everyone from kids to 90 year old grandmothers!
The weight range is from 60 to 220lbs. (no age limit)

IS SAFETY A CONCERN?
At Gravity Sports, safety is our number one priority. All flights depend on the weather conditions for the day of your scheduled flight. It the conditions are unflyable then your reservation will be rescheduled to a day that is convenient for you. David Llewellyn, out tandem pilot and instructor has flown thousands of tandems all over Candada, the United States and Latin America. He considers safety his number one priority and will not fly unless the conditions are optimal. Before your flight you will be extensively briefed on the flight procedure, safety measures and what you will experience during your adventure.
