The eligibility rules are short. Reading them before you book saves the significantly worse experience of finding out on site.
Rule 1: Weight Range
Fact: Typically about 25 kg to 100 kg. Equipment has a certified operating range and take-off behaviour depends on total loaded weight, so this is a hard technical constraint rather than a policy preference.
Explanation: If you are close to either end, mention it when booking so the crew can tell you honestly whether it works.
Rule 2: Health
Fact: Severe heart conditions, epilepsy or other serious medical issues make flying unsuitable — consult a doctor before booking if any of this applies. The flight is not physically strenuous, but it is loud, exposed and not something you can exit early.
Explanation: Recent surgery, uncontrolled blood pressure and conditions affecting balance or consciousness all warrant a medical opinion first.
Rule 3: Pregnancy
Fact: Not recommended. Ask the team before booking.
Rule 4: Alcohol And Substances
Fact: Do not fly under the influence. Non-negotiable, and it is checked.
Rule 5: Experience And Age
Fact: No prior flying experience or training is required for tandem rides — a certified pilot handles take-off, flight and landing. Exact age rules can vary by package, so ask when booking for children or older family members.
Explanation: In practice the passenger needs to understand and follow a briefing.
Rule 6: Clothing And Loose Items
Fact: Comfortable clothes and closed footwear with ankle support. Avoid loose items near the propeller area — scarves, open jackets, dangling straps, untied long hair.
Explanation: Sunglasses with a retainer, a cap you can stow rather than wear, and water for the waiting period are all sensible. The Pune site recommends sunglasses, caps and water specifically.
Rule 7: The Honest Framing
Fact: These are tandem joyrides with a certified pilot in control, flown only when conditions are suitable, with briefings, provided gear and pre-flight checks. Adventure sports carry residual risk and nobody serious claims otherwise.
Explanation: Final eligibility is confirmed by the crew on site.
Conclusion: Short Rules, Firmly Applied
Weight range, health declarations, no alcohol, closed shoes, nothing loose. That is essentially the whole list, and none of it is negotiable at the launch site because all of it is there for a physical reason. Raise anything borderline when you book, and the crew can tell you honestly whether it works before you have driven out to Loni Kalbhor.
