Tandem Paragliding

Tandem Flights

Tandem flying is a good way to try paragliding first, after take off the passenger can assume control of the glider; or just relax, admire the view and take a few photos. Aerosports provides  BHPA tandem qualified school flights in N.I., using good performance dual canopies. General tandem flights are available throughout Northern Ireland - County Antrim hills, Dungiven Glenshane Pass, NorthCoast Magilligan / Downhill, & The Mournes and also from small hills such as Shanes Hill up to our highest mountain Slieve Donard the venue is determined by the dynamic wind direction - for example its best not to constrain to 1 flying site like Downhill Magilligan as it only takes a north west wind & is impossible to fly in any other wind direction - The normal charge for a 15 - 20min flight (we aim to provide longer) is £120.00 , (however dual flights may be included with solo training at no extra charge provided conditions are suitable and the student desires a tandem flight to complement training, (Slieve Donard is £250 & is a 3hr climb!). Boots with ankle support are necessary, and old practical clothing that may get dirty is a good idea however a flying suit can be provided, and gloves are a good idea to protect and keep the hands warm.

Tandem flights are unpowered & require lift from the hill to stay airborne continuously 15 - 20min approx flight & we strive to provide even longer but sometimes its just not possible to stay up if the wind drops- in this instance it maybe necessary to attend on a better lift day. Passenger weight limit of 110kg 17.3 stone applies

We can fly throughout the year, but Spring, Summer, & Autumn are best, and some good crisp winter flights are possible even in snow.
