Discovery Flights
Simply the safest, most fun way to experience the thrill
of flying! Coasting along on a chair in the open sky, a brightly colored
parachute filled with air above you and beneath you is the
diverse and ever-changing terrain of fields, roads, streams,
and mountains of New Hampshire.
On discovery flights, after a thorough pre-flight check, you sit
behind the pilot and buckle into a harness. Once the take-off
area is cleared, the instructor will call out “Clear Prop!” before
adding throttle to the engine which will start the aircraft on
a forward roll. With increasing speed, the parachute
inflates overhead, and gently lifts the aircraft into
the sky.
Highlights:
• Unobstructed view from above of terrain and wildlife
• Nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the view and take some
pictures
• Your pilot is a Certified Flight Instructor for powered
parachutes with many years of aviation experience
