Meeting at the takeoff ramp area of Parque da Cidade de Niterói. After that, the customer will be taken to the take-off ramp according to the prevailing wind.
The flight will take place facing the city of Rio de Janeiro, with landing at Charitas Beach or towards the Oceânica Region, with views of the Atlantic Ocean and landings on the shore of Piratininga Lagoon or at Piratininga Beach, depending on the wind strength. After these activities, the customer will receive the photos from the flight and will be dropped off or brought back to the initial meeting point free of charge.
From the time customers arrive until they are dropped off, it may take 1.5 hours, depending on weather conditions and the time needed to return to the meeting point. If the guest wishes to stay at the landing site, this time will be shorter.
The maximum duration of the flight is 15 minutes, depending on the strength of the wind, and it can last up to 30 minutes on special occasions when conditions are appropriate and safe. The total duration of the activity, including preparation, waiting for the best wind conditions, the flight itself, transport back to the meeting point, and the time needed to transfer the images, is up to 2 hours.
