LEAVE YOUR WOES BEHIND, SOAR TO THE HEIGHTS, BATHE IN THE CLOUDS, REACH OUT FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND KISS THE AZURE SKY!

People fly Ultralights because it is FUN!  Ultralight flights are considered as recreational aviation flight for people who enjoy adventures.  Nepal is blessed with one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world with 8000 m high snow capped mountains, green hills, serene rivers and lakes.

You can  film and take clear photos of nature from the bird’s eye view while flying an Ultralight. Leave your woes behind, soar to the heights, bathe in the clouds, reach out for the mountains and kiss the azure sky.  It’s a life time experience.

You don’t need to have any specific knowledge in order to have an Ultralight flight with us, but here is a general overview.  Before, flying we will go over what you need to do, and you must follow all pilot and crewmembers instuctions. Your pilot will make the flight as smooth as possible but somethims you may encounter minor turbulence during your flight, which is entirely normal.

The reality of Ultraligh flighs is that sometimes launches (starts) have to be aborted due to wheather conditions, airport restricions, etc.  If pilot does not feel that it is safe to fly, he/she may abort the start as well.  In this case you will be instucted by the pilot or any crewmember of Avia Club Nepal about how to proceed further: wait, stop, change the time of your flight, or cancel it.  Your pilot will do his/her best to make your flight a success.  Yet, if during the flight, due to some circumstances such as weather changes or the flight control tower instructions, etc. your pilot may slightly change the flight rout.

Yes.  There ara a few things that passenger should know.  First is that the weight of the passenger cannot exceed 110 kg (240 lb).  The company employees can check your weigh using the company scales and if it exceeds set parameters, stop the flight.  Second, you must read, understand and agree with the liability waiver form that must be signed prior to an Ultralight flight.  Minor -participant under 18 must be signed off by a parent or legal guardian. 

In comparison to regular aircraft, Ultralights have a tremendous advantage over it due to their low weight and speed.  Their high aerodynamic qualities allow this delta wing aircraft to perform long flights and land even with the engine turned off.  Their unique design includes a ballistic parachute system, which enables the aircraft to land safely in case of emergency.
Ultralights need only 300 meters of airfield to take-off and land.

Avia Club Nepal has multi national pilots coming from all over the world.  They are highly trained professionals with thousands of Ultralight flight hours to their credit.  Most of them have been flying with Avia Club Nepal for several years.  Some of them worked as Air Force pilots in their previous career.

Wear footwear that provides a good support as possible.  During the autumn (fall) and winter it is a good idea to have a sweater and a light jacket with you.

You may bring your digital camera, camcorder for filming, yet secure it with a strap if you are planning to fly an open cabin aircraft. As there is weight limit in Ultralights, any extra luggage is not allowed onboard: however, your bags and belongings can safely be left with our ground hosts in the locker box while you are taking your flight.
