Why Flyin Liège?

Are there any conditions or restrictions to be respected before taking part in the activity?

For safety reasons, it is important to follow the following measures:

• no alcohol before the flights
• no history of shoulder dislocation
• not recommended if pregnant
• weight is limited to 120 kg 

The participant may not exceed a weight of 120kg and a height of 1M85, with a balanced height/weight ratio.

For safety reasons, we have flight suits adapted to larger sizes, which must be worn.

If the participant is unable to wear one of the suits provided, he/she will be refused access to the activity.

This is neither a vexatious nor discriminatory measure, but a safety imperative.

Is there an age limit?

To fly at Flyin Liège you must be at least 4 years old.

However, there is no upper age limit.

Can I be accompanied?

Of course, accompanying persons can sit at the bar next to the simulator.

 As the simulator is completely transparent, they will have a front-row seat to watch you fly. Don't forget to say hello to them as you pass by 🙂

After your flight, you can all enjoy a convivial moment together in the bar.

Can I take part in the simulation if I'm visually impaired, hard of hearing, in a wheelchair or disabled?

Anyone with a disability or who is visually or hearing impaired can take part in the free-fall simulator.

Our multi-skilled team will supervise those who need it, adapting the way they work so that everyone feels safe and at home.

How should I dress?

We recommend that you dress comfortably with sporty shoes. No skirts, sandals, heels, etc.

People with long hair are advised to bring a hair tie.

Can I fly with glasses?

No problem, you have two choices:

If possible, wear contact lenses instead of your glasses.

You can also hire a full-face helmet from reception. It's not only more comfortable to fly in, but also keeps your glasses safe!

I'm afraid of heights. Is this activity recommended?

Vertigo only exists when your feet are on the ground.

During a flight in our wind tunnel, there is no sensation of vertigo, so you can come and fly with complete peace of mind.

Do you want to skydive but don't feel completely comfortable?

Flying in the free-fall simulator will recreate the same bodily sensations as free-falling during a parachute jump.

Rehearse the important movements (arm and leg positions) so that you're sure of yourself on the big day.

As these movements will have become automatic, you'll be able to focus all your attention on making the most of the experience.

To have the opportunity to repeat and correct the positions, we suggest you take at least 2 passes of 1 minute.

You can also add a 'tornado' flight to go 15 metres high with your instructor and get a taste of the adrenalin rush.

During the briefing, tell your instructor that you're preparing for a skydive so that he can advise you and reassure you.

All our instructors are also skydiving instructors! Flyin Liège is the ideal place to prepare for your jump.

I want to prepare for my skydive

How long does the flight last?

Each flight lasts 1 minute, the equivalent of a freefall jump from 4000m!

Can this help me prepare for a parachute jump?

The flight in the free-fall simulator will recreate the same bodily sensations (absence of contact with the ground and the sensation of being carried by the air).

It will also allow you to rehearse the movements you will have to make on the day of your parachute jump (arm and leg positions).

This preparation will get you used to it and give you the confidence to enjoy your skydive to the full when the time comes.

Are the sensations the same as when you jump from a plane?

The bodily sensations are the same as if you were jumping from a plane. The difference lies mainly in the visual context (in our wind tunnel, you fly close to the ground) and in the reduction in stress thanks to the indoor jump.

It's an excellent way to prepare for a parachute jump.

Reservation

How much time should I allow on site?

Allow around 1? hours for the activity. But you can extend this time by sitting down at the bar for a cocktail and a portion of nachos to share with your friends and family.

Why do I need to come 1 hour in advance?

Before you can take part in the activity, you must register at reception and read our internal policies. Depending on the number of participants, this may take more or less time.

For the turbine to run smoothly and for the groups to be organised, it is important that everyone is ready in time to take part in the briefing. That's why we ask you to be present 1 hour before the flight time.

Once you've registered, you can sit back and relax in the bar while your instructor comes to collect you for your flight.

I've made the booking in my name but it's for someone else.

Don't worry, just mention it on the day of your flight when you register (one hour before at the airport).

Can I come and celebrate my birthday / Stag Do / Hen Party at Flyin?

Of course you can! After the activity, you can all sit down together at the bar to extend the experience over a few cocktails and delicious nachos.

Give us a call a few days in advance so that we can reserve a table for you.

Would you like a cake or table decoration? We can do that too, just give us a call.

Call us on +32 4 222 99 22 from Wednesday to Monday, between 10am and 5.30pm.

Why are gift vouchers only valid for 6 months?

When we issue a gift voucher, we set the price according to the known costs on the date the voucher is sold. But our costs often increase between the date the gift voucher is sold and the date it is used.

To minimise the impact of cost increases on our business, especially energy costs, we limit the validity of our vouchers to 6 months.

This allows us to offer you the best possible price while giving you time to enjoy the gift and limiting the financial risks for us.

I've received a gift voucher, how do I book?

Go to https://booking.flyinliege.be/bon-cadeau and enter your voucher number in the appropriate tab.

You can also book by telephone on +32(0)4 222 99 22.

If your gift voucher comes from a partner (e.g. Bongo, Social Deal, Groupon, etc.) we invite you to create an account on our site and to send us your voucher by e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

How will I receive the photos/videos?

You will be able to download the photos and videos of your flights from our website a few minutes after your flight, using the personal code you will have received.

Photos can be downloaded in JPG format and videos in M4V format.

Can I bring my go-pro?

Unfortunately it will not be possible to take images with a Gopro or other camera. As soon as you are equipped, you can no longer carry any external objects with you, for your own safety.

But don't worry, our team will take care of immortalising your flights. You can buy a video pack at reception when you register or after your flights.

If people accompany you outside the turbine, they will also be able to immortalise the moment for you.

What is the purpose of a free-fall simulator?

Wind tunnels are used by skydivers for training, but also to experiment with aerial techniques and figures. They use turbines to create a vertical flow of air that can blow winds of up to 300 km/h.

For non-parachutists, the wind tunnel allows them to experience flying in complete safety while having maximum fun.

When did the simulator open?

The building in which Flyin Liège operates opened in 2015, but the current team was put in place in 2021.

What is the height and circumference of the tunnel?

The tunnel is 17 meters high and has a diameter of 5.2 meters. It is the 2nd widest tunnel in the world and can accommodate 13 professionals at the same time.

For people flying for the first time, the width of the tunnel offers great freedom of movement and ensures that you don't hit the parrois.

How is it powered? What does it consume?

The tunnel is powered by electricity and has 6 turbines, each consuming 333 kw for a total consumption of 2MW.

How does the air get into the tube?

We work in a closed cycle.

The air used in the tunnel does not enter or leave immediately. It is taken through different ducts, passing through the underside of the building, "enters" the glass tunnel through the hatches at the bottom, "exits" through the hatches at the top, is directed to the left and right ends by fans and then comes back down before repeating the same route.

This ensures that the air is always clean and healthy.

Anecdote: The first simulators worked in open circuits, meaning that they took in air directly from outside. And a grain of sand at 300 km/h stings! For your comfort, we work in a closed circuit with meticulous air filtering.

Why is it called a free-fall "simulator"?

It's called a free-fall simulator because it lets you experience/simulate the sensations of a parachute jump without having to go through the "plane" stage.

Is it considered a sport?

Yes, free-fall simulation is a sport that is divided into several disciplines:

Relative flight (RV): Flights on the stomach where a team of 4 or 8 people have to perform a series of tricks in the time allowed for a parachute jump (45 seconds).

Freefly: Discipline involving freefall in various vertical positions (sitting, standing head up, head down) as opposed to the horizontal orientation known from relative flight.

Freestyle: A real "dance in the sky", this is a series of artistic figures derived from gymnastics and trampolining.

Can you learn to fly?

Absolutely, just as you can learn to swim, you can learn to fly.

Lessons are given by our instructors in private sessions here at the school.
