Dual Control Tandem training flight video clips

These are just a few of our YouTube clips, to view all the clips use the YouTube link at the top left of any webpage

Training flights on our Dual Control Tandem paraglider, G-BZJI, a Nova X-Large 37, are conducted all year round on days with suitable flying conditions, generally for Dual Control tandem training flights it is best if the conditions are a bit stronger than we look for for the early stages of solo flight training. In addition to a lot of ‘top landing’ tandem flying, training often takes place on sites which are top drivable on lighter days provided a retrive driver is available or at the Scottish Ski Centers with chairlifts  running (Glenshee, Glencoe & Nevis Range) , avoiding the time & effort in climbing back to the launch height and carrying all the equipment!

For training flights with lighter pilots (G-BZJI has a weight range of 150 - 220 kg) we also use a smaller Nova X-Large 31 (weight range 135 -175 kg)
