When flying in a tandem paraglider, both the pilot and the passenger must follow certain guidelines to ensure safety and enjoyment:
Listening to Instructions
The passenger must carefully listen to the pilot’s instructions before takeoff and during the flight.
Pre-Flight Preparation
The pilot will secure the passenger in the harness, ensuring that all straps are properly fastened. Then, the pilot will conduct a briefing, explaining what the passenger should and should not do.
Takeoff Behavior
During takeoff, the passenger must run together with the pilot until instructed otherwise. It is important to gradually accelerate without sitting too early, following the pilot’s guidance.
During the Flight
The passenger should stay relaxed and enjoy the experience. It is crucial to avoid sudden movements that could disturb the paraglider’s balance.
Communication
The passenger should communicate with the pilot if they feel uncomfortable or have any questions. Maintaining open communication throughout the flight is essential.
Landing
The passenger must follow the pilot’s instructions during landing, running and staying upright without sitting down too soon.
Safety
The passenger must always wear a helmet and, if necessary, other protective equipment provided by the pilot.
By following these guidelines, the passenger can ensure a safe and enjoyable paragliding experience.
