What a tandem day actually looks like — hour by hour

Your slot gets confirmed the morning of — weather decides everything. You'll get a time window, a meeting point, and a heads-up that it might shift an hour either way. That's normal.

At the meeting point: a vehicle, other passengers, the crew. Up the ridge is usually a bumpy 20-minute drive. At launch, you watch others go first — useful, it demystifies everything.

Briefing is five minutes: run when told, don't sit early, land standing. Harness on, clip in, a few steps, and you're airborne.

The flight is 10–20 minutes of ridge lines, lake views and quiet. Landing is gentle. Total elapsed: about 2–3 hours door to door.
