IKARUS SPORT AVIATION TANDEM FLIGHTS

Filed under: AIR SPORTS

What is Paragliding?
The parachute which is laid on a proper slope will be filled with air as soon as the pilot starts running, takes its wing form and carries the pilot; as the pilot continues his/her running for another 4-5 meters it takes off and then begins a comfortable and a safe flight gliding in a certain angle.

The duration of the flights differ from the weather conditions of the area, the performance of the equipment and the experience of the pilot and may extend for hours and miles.

Paragliding first began in the early ’80s and short after became very popular. The most important reasons of its popularity are because it is the most economic aviation equipment known and it is an outdoor sport. Paragliding, which doesn’t require a special talent or too much effort, is quite easy and fun after standard training.

Paragliding in Turkey began with foreign pilots discovering Babadag in Ölüdeniz, Fethiye region in the early ’90s and first spread among the university aviation clubs. Today, Ölüdeniz Babadağ is considered as one of the best flying sites in the world and draws hundreds of foreign pilots every year. There are about 2000 pilots in Turkey and the number increases every year.
