Tandem
Flights
Tandems are excellent advanced training for
experienced pilots. Assuming responsibility for a friend's
safety tends to "motivate" safety awareness. We practice
tandems amongst ourselves just for fun. Senior pilots are
welcome to practice with us.
We also use tandems for introducing pilots to aerotowing.
For Beginners?
Tandems would seem an ideal way to introduce
beginners but, in fact, they are not. They are found to
overwhelm and discourage students, whom if introduced less
intensely might have succeeded. Reference:
The Oz Report.
Admittedly, they are a lot of fun - just not your best bet
for learning how to fly.
We would be happy to provide reasonably priced
instructional tandems if they are likely to benefit you in
your training program.
