Upon check in for flight reservations, additional evaluation by local staff will be required to determine if the flyer can be accommodated and whether additional restrictions may apply.

Question 10

Can I do tricks and flips in the tunnel?

Accepted Answer

Our primary concern is for your safety in the flight chamber so the tricks or flips are done by experienced flyers only. Some flyers are able to do turns, move up and down, and forward and backward during their first flight. Be sure to ask your instructor how to advance your flight skills.

You may be in a group with other individuals and your experience will begin promptly upon the scheduled reservation. Participants who arrive late to their reservation time may not be able to fly.

Question 15

Can I fly with my friends or family members?

Accepted Answer

We generally fly several people in each session. Your friends and family will be part of the same group, however you will fly one at a time in the flight chamber one-on-one with your instructor. Once you have gained more flight experience then you will be able to fly with others of the same skill level in the tunnel. If someone chooses to come to watch, he or she is welcome to accompany you through your experience and can watch from the observation area.

Question 18

Is it hard to breathe?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. It is the same as if you stick your head out a car window while driving. All you feel is the wind in your face. Just breathe normally, either through your mouth or your nose.

Question 19

How long is a flight?

Accepted Answer

Each flight within the wind tunnel lasts 60 seconds. However, total flight length depends on the package that you choose. When jumping out of an airplane, the free fall portion lasts approx. 45 seconds. If you reserve a package that contains 2 flights, you will have 2 turns in the wind tunnel with an instructor lasting 60 seconds each. Some of our packages include double-length flights which lasts double the time at a reduced cost. The entire iFLY first-time flyer experience takes approx. 1 hour and 30 minutes from start to finish.

Question 20

Is it scary?

Accepted Answer

Generally, no. There’s no jumping, no falling, and no experience is needed. You simply float on a column of air. There is no sensation of falling or anything that would make you feel motion sickness.

Question 21

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your safety is our primary concern. Our unique design with its wall-to-wall air column, along with our certified and highly-trained instructors, allows you to safely enjoy your flight session. Your flight instructor is with you through your entire flight experience regardless of your level of experience.

Question 22

How should I style my hair?

Accepted Answer

Hairstyles must allow for a proper fitting helmet. We recommend that individuals with long hair secure their hair in a low, braided bun.

Question 23

Are there any flying tutorials?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are. The International Bodyflight Association (IBA) has some excellent video tutorials. The IBA is the association that trains and accredits our instructors.

Question 24

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

A vertical wind tunnel has fans at the top to draw air through the flight chamber and then push it back down the sides through Return Air Towers. That leads to an inlet contractor that compresses & speeds up the air before it reenters the flight chamber. The result: a smooth column of air that enables you to fly.

Question 25

What is indoor skydiving?

Accepted Answer

Competitive indoor skydiving, also known as Bodyflight, shares many of the disciplines of competitive skydiving, such as formation skydiving and freestyle skydiving. Generally, athletes compete to successfully complete a certain number of maneuvers in an allotted amount of time. Athletes can compete as teams, working to complete maneuvers and grips, or as individuals. Each performance is recorded and judged by a panel of experts. If you’re interested, our instructors can help you improve your flying skills and take you to the next level of indoor skydiving. More Info

Question 26

What is a wind tunnel?

Very simply, a wind tunnel is a machine that moves a lot of air. A vertical wind tunnel, which is what we use at iFLY, moves air in a vertical column at speeds high enough to keep a person safely floating.

Question 51

O que é um túnel de vento?

Accepted Answer

Um túnel de vento vertical tem turbinas de alta tecnologia na parte superior que sugam o ar da câmara de Voo e, em seguida, empurram o ar de volta para baixo pelas laterais externas da câmara através de Torres de Retorno de Ar. O ar é re-circulado pelas Torres para a base do túnel e volta para a câmara de Voo através de um funil de entrada que comprime e acelera o ar antes de voltar para a câmara de voo. Essa suave coluna de ar é que faz com que você voe.

Question 52

O que é Paraquedismo Indoor?

Accepted Answer

Paraquedismo Indoor competitivo, também conhecido como Bodyflight, compartilha muitas de suas técnicas com o paraquedismo competitivo, tais como formação em queda livre e freestyle. Geralmente, os atletas competem para cumprir com êxito um certo número de manobras em um período de tempo estipulado. Os atletas devem realizar manobras competindo individualmente ou como equipes. Cada performance é registrada e julgada por uma banca de especialistas. Se você estiver interessado, nossos instrutores podem ajudá-lo a melhorar suas habilidades de Voo e levá-lo para o próximo nível do Paraquedismo Indoor. Mais infos.

Question 53

Como funciona?

Accepted Answer

Um túnel de vento vertical tem turbinas na parte superior que sugam o ar da câmara de Voo e, em seguida, manda-o de volta para baixo pelas laterais através das Torres de Retorno de Ar e, então, o ar passa por um funil que o comprime e o acelera, retornando para a câmara de Voo. O resultado: uma coluna de ar suave que lhe permite voar. Assista ao nosso vídeo instrutivo.

Question 54

Existem tutoriais de Voo?

Accepted Answer

Sim, existem. A Associação Internacional de Bodyflight (IBA) tem alguns excelentes tutoriais em vídeo. A IBA é a associação que treina e credencia os nossos instrutores.

Question 55

Accepted Answer

Sim, sua segurança para nós vem em primeiro lugar. Nosso design único gera uma coluna de ar de parede a parede que, juntamente com os nossos instrutores certificados e altamente qualificados, permitirão que você desfrute seu voo com segurança. Seu instrutor de voo estará com você durante toda a experiência de voo, independentemente do seu nível de prática.

Question 56

Dá medo?

Em geral não. Não é necessário jogar-se de nenhum lugar, não há queda, e nenhuma experiência prévia é requerida. Basta flutuar sobre a coluna de ar. Não há sensação de queda e nada que faria você sentir enjoo.

Question 57

Quanto tempo dura o Voo?

Accepted Answer

Quando se salta de um avião, num salto de paraquedas, a queda livre dura aproximadamente 45 segundos. Cada Voo no túnel de vento dura 60 segundos. No entanto, o tempo total de Voo depende do pacote que você escolher. Se você reservar um pacote de 2 Voos, você fará 2 entradas de 60 segundos no túnel com um instrutor.

Toda a experiência para Categorias iniciantes na iFLY leva aproximadamente 1 hora e 15 minutos do início ao fim.

Question 58

Se alguém quiser vir apenas para assistir, será bem-vindo para acompanhá-lo em sua experiência e poderá assistir o voo na área de observação.

Question 63
