The conditions to fly

What happens in case of bad weather conditions?

Several cases of figure:

The conditions strongly limit the tour you had initially chosen. In this case, it is sometimes preferable to postpone the flight.
The weather partially hides the island (typically the South and the East) but allows to visit some cirques and the lagoon. In this case, we adapt your tour to make the most of the day, so that you can leave fulfilled!

We ask you to call us on the morning of your flight to check with you in order to avoid a possible unnecessary trip.

At what time of the year and at what time of day do you fly?

We fly all year round. Flights take place in the morning between 6am and 11am, for meteorological reasons. Indeed, it is in this time range that the probability of good weather is maximum, especially in the interior of the island.

Is there a minimum age to fly a microlight?

No. Children can fly from a very young age, as long as they know how to unbuckle their seatbelt by themselves.

Before flying

Is it necessary to equip yourself to fly a microlight?

For multi-axis microlight flights, it is recommended to wear a fleece or a vest if you fly during the southern winter (roughly from May to October).

If you fly in a Trike, on the other hand, it is preferable to wear something against the cold all year round.
In any case, we will be able to offer you protection against the cold, if you have not planned anything.

Can we fly with more than one person?

Yes, our microlights are two-seater, you travel alone with your pilot. In the case where you are several to fly, we make leave several ULM successively which follow one another.

During the flight

Is it possible to fly over the Piton de la Fournaise from the Cambaie base ?

A regulation limits our tourist flights to 40 km from our departure base. To observe the volcano, we take a maximum of altitude until the Bellevue pass, which offers an overall view on the Piton de la Fournaise massif. On the other hand, the flight over the Piton des Neiges is not restricted and you will be able to enjoy it fully!

Is it possible to take pictures or videos while flying?

Yes, you can take as many pictures or videos as you want, as long as your device is held securely, for example with a strap.

Is it possible to open the doors in flight?

Possibly. The doors can only be opened on some of our aircrafts and at certain stages of the flight. If you wish to take pictures with the door open, please indicate this at the time of your reservation. You will then be able to ask your pilot to open the doors at certain times during the flight.
