Marrakech Paragliding: What Happens During a Tandem Flight?

Knowing the sequence removes most of the nerves. Here is the whole flight in order.

1. Harness and briefing

Your pilot fits the harness and helmet and checks every buckle. The briefing is short: walk forward when told, keep walking, do not sit down until the pilot says so.

2. Launch

The wing inflates overhead. You walk, then jog a few steps, and the harness lifts you. Most people describe launch as gentler than expected — the ground simply falls away.

3. Settling in

Once airborne the pilot helps you slide back into the seat. From here you are sitting comfortably with your legs out in front of you.

4. The flight

Gliding, gentle turns, and the pilot reading the air. If you want more dynamic turns, ask. If you want it flat and calm, say so before launch — pilots would much rather know in advance.

5. Landing

The pilot lines up into wind, tells you to lift your legs, and lands standing or seated. It is over in seconds and is generally softer than people expect.
