Process of the flight
Get a step-by-step breakdown of the entire process, from arrival to landing.
Before the Flight:
-
Meeting point: on arrival at Gaisberg Mountain, you'll meet your professional pilot, fill out your ticket and walk a few steps to the take-off area.
-
Safety briefing: your pilot will give you a detailed safety briefing. It will cover takeoff and landing procedures and what to expect during the flight. You'll have time to ask any questions you may have.
-
Gear check: Your pilot will provide and secure your equipment, check all the paragliding equipment, including the harness, helmet, and wing.
Ready to Fly:
-
Preparation for take-off: you and your pilot will be securely connected to your respective harnesses. Once you're ready, you and your pilot will stand on the launch site. The pilot will choose the best moment, give the instruction to start and with a few steps will initiate the launch, gently lifting you both into the air. (2/5 steps in moderate winds, a few more steps in light winds).
-
In-Flight: while you soar above Gaisberg Mountain, enjoy the breathtaking panorama of Salzburg City and the surrounding landscapes. It is quiet and free from noise pollution. Feel free to communicate with your pilot throughout the flight. He can answer your questions, point out landmarks, and adjust the flight, adrenaline rush and air time according to your comfort level and of course, the weather conditions.
Landing:
-
Landing approach: as you approach the landing zone, the pilot will gradually descend, while preparing you for a gentle landing.
-
Landing: the pilot skilfully manoeuvres the glider for a soft landing. Landings can be made in two ways and both are soft, the expert pilot will inform you which one will be applied to land safely and as smooth as possible. If landing while sitting, you will be asked to lift both legs up and then gently slide with the foam/air protection of your harness. If landing on your feet, you may need to assist with a few steps. No worries, it's as smooth as a step down the stairs.
After the Flight:
-
After a happy landing, your pilot will then help you remove your equipment and cheer you up with a high five. Afterward, you can view your high-quality photos and videos, highlighting the best memories of your flight.
