Any unplanned movements, such as sitting or jumping, by the passenger can impede the paraglider’s take-off. In such instances, the take-off is halted, the parachute is laid out again on the runway, and the take-off process is repeated.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How long do we stay in the air?<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Paragliding involves gliding through the air, and Oludeniz Babadag offers a peak elevation of 1969 meters. Typically, when a paraglider takes off from Babada\u011f, the flight lasts around 25 minutes. However, if acrobatics are incorporated, the flight may be slightly shortened by 5 minutes due to rapid altitude loss. Fortunately, for guests eager for more airtime, we can extend the flight by an additional +15 minutes<\/span><\/a> at no extra cost. This extension is made possible through thermal waves, provided the weather conditions are favorable. To maximize your time in the air, it is recommended to schedule flights around noon.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
