Here we try to explain all the questions that normally our clients do.
- Is it for me?
You put your own imit. The most important thing is that you want to fly. There are no age limits. The guys under 18 must have a pattern permission to fly with us. The only thing you have to do is a short run to take off and land. If you have any question, mail us: info@entrenuvols.com.
- It is scary?
Is one of the most popular question. An this is the answer: NO! The sensations when you are flying are the opposite as scary. You can feel pacefully, freedom, many things, but no scary. Another thing is our previous sensations. Everybody feel scary with the anknown things, and we assume that paraglide is one for you, but when we are on the air everything change!
- Is this safe?
Another popular question. Yes, it is very safe. The most important thing yuo have to remember is that we fly with you, and obviously, we love live! All the stuff (canopy, chair, parachute, etc...) is tested and homologated by international associations. The safty factor is 8, it would say that is tested with 8 times the maximum weight is it designed for. But for more security we have an emergency parachute. All this things combined with the correct evaluation of the meteorlogical conditions, make the paraglide a very safe sport. We don't say that it haven't risk, as all the quotidian activities exist risk, but don't more. If you come with car, you passed the dangerous part of your trip.
- We jump from the hill?
No. It is Base Jump, and we need a parachute. We fly with a paraglide, and as all things that fly, we take off.
We fly without engine, and we have to take off from the mountains. All that you have to do is run few meters while the wing inflates and come over our heads, and start to fly!!
- Should I be an athlete and recordman of 200 m?
If you are an athlet, best for your heralth but... for flying it is enough if you can run 10 meters and jump from a chair.
- Should I have to know something or do a course for flying?
If you want to do a tandem flight it is not necessary. We explain you what you have to do before we start to fly. The pilot is who ride the wing.
- Will we fly very high?
It depends on the meteorological conditions of the day, but the height from take off to the landing is near 1000 m.
- We have booked a flight at 10AM. Would we finished at 11AM?
It depends on the weather conditions of the day, in a good day, yes. But also is possible that we can't flight. This is a sport of patience, so leave the stress at home. |
