Safety

It is recommended to fly with a pilot who received a tandem-pilot certification from the Paragliding School of Georgia. 

The pilot’s chair is equipped with a proper parachute. During the flight the pilot and the passenger wear helmets and should also wear sunglasses. You should take a light coat and apply sunscreen during the summer, but something warmer is definitely needed during the other seasons. You must wear closed sports shoes.

You can record the flight with a GoPro camera, which the pilots will also take care of. 

Before taking a tandem flight with a qualified pilot, the pilot will provide you with instructions on what to do.
