Discovery Flights
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
