We have built specific take off and landings where solo pilots are welcome as far as they respect the local rules and fly with required permits and insurance, and possess a good attitude. Koleli is not a commercial tandem flight area.
We want to keep the area calm and natural, with enough free space for pilots to feel confident and secure.
