Sport Pilot Flight Training Center

We would like to invite you to our Flight Center for an introduction to the sport of powered parachuting – We have qualified instructors that will take you for an introductory tandem flight. As you soar through the air with a qualified Sport Pilot, know that this flight will help you to determine if the sport of Powered Parachuting is for you. We will introduce you to a world that one can only experience from low & slow above.

An Introductory Flight and our Initial Training Flight, is a flight that is piloted by an experienced Instructor/CFI. During this flight you will be comfortably seated in the rear seat of a 2 place powered parachute. You will be able to hear your instructor via helmet/ head-phones. The instructor will demonstrate the use of the simple components used for powered parachute flight.

Note: You may bring your camera or video with you, this is a flight that you will never forget.

Powered Parachutes are the safest way to experience piloting your own aircraft.
