  • 1. What courses do you offer for beginner pilots?

Not sure if you're ready? Book a consultation, use our contact form, or message us via the chat in the bottom right corner.
  • 3. How often should I have my reserve parachute repacked?
    Professional repacking is recommended every 12 months to ensure your reserve deploys reliably and safely when you need it most.
  • 4. What is included in the 1-on-1 Flight Training?
    This full-day session includes a detailed site analysis, weather briefing, in-flight radio coaching, targeted practice, and a thorough debrief to help you improve specific skills.
  • 5. When is the best time to do in-flight training in Wanaka?
    The best time for in-flight training in Wanaka is during the main flying season from October to April. Early spring can bring strong, turbulent conditions, so pilots should be prepared. For the most consistent flying and active thermals, December through March is ideal. Mornings usually offer calmer winds, making them great for focused learning and progression.
  • 6. Can I customie my training program?
    Yes! We offer flexible packages like the Customised Progression Package, where you select modules tailored to your goals and needs, maximising your progression.
  • 7. Where are your courses held?
    Most of our training happens in the Southern Lakes region of New Zealand, including Wanaka and Queenstown. We also organize special camps internationally, such as our Bali Flying Camp, Australia XC Camp and Europe trips. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you're interested or have questions about these camps.
  • 8. Do you provide tandem flights for training purposes?
    Yes, our Instructional Tandem Flights allow you to fly with an instructor onboard. This unique perspective helps you understand wing control and active flying techniques better.
  • 9. What physical fitness level do I need to participate?
    While paragliding suits a wide range of fitness levels, certain courses like Speed Riding or SIV require good physical condition and agility due to their demanding nature.
  • 10. Is safety emphasised in all your courses?
    Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. Every course includes essential safety theory and practical training to help you fly confidently and responsibly.

  • How does your flexible booking system work?
    Our booking system is designed around weather flexibility—because great flying depends on great conditions. Choose Your Week: When you book a weather-dependent session (like in-flight training or ground handling), you’re selecting the week you’re available to fly. We Monitor the Forecast: Each Sunday, we review the upcoming week’s weather and identify the best possible flying days. We’ll Be in Touch: You’ll receive updates and confirmation via WhatsApp or email about your scheduled day(s). Stay Ready: Keep your gear and schedule flexible during that week so we can make the most of the conditions. 💡 Tip: Don’t wait for the “perfect” week—book your session to get in the loop. We work hard to get you flying when conditions align. Here's How We Work page for more details.
  • How do I know what day my session will run?
    We typically review the weekly forecast every Sunday and will update you as soon as a good flying window is confirmed—usually 1–2 days in advance. You'll get a message via WhatsApp or email to confirm the meeting time, location, and plan.
  • What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate that week?
    If the weather is unsuitable for the entire week, we’ll reschedule your session to the next available week that works for you—at no extra cost. You won’t lose your booking.
  • Can I choose the exact day when I book?
    Not directly. When you book, you’re securing a spot within a specific week. We’ll choose the best day during that window, based on the most accurate forecast.
  • What if I’m only available on certain days that week?
    Please note your availability in the booking form. We’ll do our best to align the session to your availability, but flexibility gives you the best chance of flying that week.
  • Why book now instead of waiting for a perfect week?
    The best way to secure your place is to book ahead. Waiting for a “perfect” week often leads to missed opportunities, especially during busy periods. Booking now means you’ll be in the loop and ready to go when the weather aligns.
  • How much notice will I get before the session?
    We aim to confirm the exact session day 1–2 days in advance, once the forecast is reliable. Stay responsive to messages so you don’t miss the update.
  • How will I be contacted with updates?
    We’ll reach out via WhatsApp or email, depending on your preference. Make sure your contact details are up to date when booking.
  • What if I need to reschedule?
    We allow rescheduling with enough notice (usually 24–48 hours before your confirmed session). Please refer to your specific session’s cancellation policy.
