Christchurch Paragliding

Tandem flights

Avalible to people of all ability.  Only restriction is a maximum weight limit of 85kg. Flight are the same cost for all, however an addditional donation of $50 is appreciated to the Makingtrax Foundation for the use of the adaptive equipment.

​

Solo flights

To fly solo you will need to have full function in your arms.   If you have limited hand function, you will need to demonstrate that you can grip the toggles and lines with some amount of strength.  This is for safety reasons as part of your licence you are required to demonstrate 'big ears' which is a technique used to reduce the size of the parachute by pulling on some lines.  This requires a moderate amount of strength.

Course cost is the same for everyone, however an addditional donation to the Makingtrax Foundation is appreciated for the use of the adaptive equipment.  Spaces are also limited. 

If you are interested in learning to fly solo please contact Jezza at Making Trax for a consultation.
