A Beautiful Tandem Flight Followed by a 1 Hour Flying Lesson
We start with a 30 minute hike from our landing zone up the side of Mount Haleakala through Kaonoulu Ranch pasture land to our Echos launch at 4500′ elevation. We hike on a paved road, gain 1000' in elevation, and the instructor & you each carry a 20 pound backpack. A nice bit of morning exercise with better and better views as we get higher and higher on the mountain. Then the reward is a beautiful tandem paraglidiing flight back down to the landing zone. The flight time is approximately 4 minutes.
After landing we move to our training hill and start your first hour of solo pilot lessons. You'll learn how to inflate and launch the wing, how to control it over your head, and how to flare and land safely. If the conditions are good you may even get a few seconds of actually flying on your own.
