YOUR FLIGHT, STEP BY STEP
From mountain take-off to valley landing
Bir Billing brings together a hilltop launch at Billing and a landing area in Bir. A tandem flight pairs you with a pilot, so you can experience the landscape without training to fly solo. Follow the crew’s instructions throughout take-off, flight and landing.
01 · Meet in Bir
Receive your reporting time and exact meeting point when your booking is confirmed. Keep the day flexible rather than planning a tight onward connection.
02 · Travel to Billing
Head uphill to the take-off area. The crew explains the launch and landing procedure, fits your equipment and checks whether conditions are suitable.
03 · Fly back to Bir
Take off with your pilot and glide towards the valley. Your flight route and time in the air depend on wind, conditions and the pilot’s decisions.
