Tandem Flights
The Magic of Flight:
A Day in the Life of a Student Pilot
Ever dreamt of learning to fly but never knew where to start? Or maybe you just wanted to get a taste of it without a serious commitment!
​
With our One-time Instructional 2-Place tandem flight, you'll experience what paragliding is all about. Become a Student Pilot for a day and see from the "front seat" what it feels like to be UP THERE.
Compass AirSports is proud to conduct all flights foot-launched.
We are literally going to RUN INTO THE SKY together...just like the birds do!
We have trained that for years at many locations around the world.
Our flying is UNIQUE and we love it.
