Practical information
After you get to the meeting point, a member of the True Adventure team will drive you up to the takeoff location that is most suitable for the current weather conditions. There are a few excellent spots around Vik, which gives you an opportunity to enjoy the superb views of the area. It also provides flexibility, allowing your instructor to choose a suitable location depending on the weather so you can don’t miss your chance of flying safely and enjoyably.
Once you're at the takeoff spot, you'll have a briefing during which you will be taken through the details of the flight and given an explanation about the equipment and safety procedures. After a safety check, you’re ready to take off! Now you'll run a few steps down a gentle slope and it’s time to sit back and enjoy your flight! Depending on your desire, abilities, the weather conditions and the area where you're flying, your instructor might let you handle the controls during the flight. If you just want to relax and admire the scenery, that’s OK too, the main objective is to have a good time.
Photography: Your pilot will be equipped with a high definition video camera from which you can get the photos and videos. All you need to do is order the additional HD video + photo package!
As this activity depends on the weather conditions, please get in touch with True Adventure a day or two before your flight to confirm the meeting time. Please allow some flexibility in your schedule if the weather demands a change of time and take-off location.
