What are the weight and age limits?
40–100 kg for the standard flight, 40–95 kg for the high-altitude one. Minors fly with a parent present.
In detail
Standard tandem: passenger weight 40 to 100 kg. High-altitude flight from 3,040 m: 40 to 95 kg, because the landing options up there are less forgiving of a heavy wing loading.
If you are outside those numbers, write to us with your actual weight before booking. Sometimes a different wing or a different pilot makes it possible and sometimes it does not — either way you will get the answer by email rather than at the launch with money already paid, which is how this usually goes wrong elsewhere.
Minors fly with a parent or guardian present at the launch. There is no hard upper age limit; the limits that matter are mobility for the launch run and any cardiac or spinal condition, which you should discuss with your doctor rather than with us.
