The horizontal slope of the parachute

One of the sports that has shown improvement in recent years is skydiving. Due to its structure, the Amanos Mountains are a very suitable mountain for slope parachuting. The slope parachute, which first began to be made in Iskenderun's Karaincir Hill, later began to gain popularity with the take-off runways made in the districts of Arsuz and Samandag.

The FlyTürk Aviation Club, located in İskenderun, is the only organization concerned with slope parachuting throughout Hatay. This club offers tandem flights as well as skydiving courses. Depending on the weather conditions, the course is completed in approximately one week and the participant is awarded a certificate as a beginner parachute pilot.

You only need to contact the club at least one day in advance to make the tandem flight. When the meeting place is prepared, preparations are made for the flight from Iskenderun to Karaincir Hill, where the slope parachute will be made. After a briefing by the pilot, it is ready for takeoff and the right wind is expected. You won't have to wait long because the area often has the wind needed for a slope parachute.

In this extraordinary experience, which lasts about half an hour, the pleasure of flying is accompanied by a magnificent view. It will be enough to pay about 250 rubles for a tandem flight of the slope parachute, one of the best activities to do on the horizon trip.
