Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch. You run a few steps off the cliff edge and within seconds the ground drops away beneath you. After that the flight levels into a smooth glide over the Atlantic coastline.
Do you need any experience to fly tandem?
None at all. The operator lists this as everybody welcome, and your pilot controls the glider throughout the entire flight. Your only job is to run on takeoff.
How long are you actually in the air?
The total session is 1h to 1.5h, which includes briefing and gear-up time on the ground. Airtime depends on thermal conditions on the day.
Is this available year-round?
The main season runs May through September, when Atlantic thermals over the Algarve are most reliable. Outside that window, check directly with FLY ALGARVE for availability.
