Acro Pilots Oludeniz

Advanced paragliding for experienced pilots.

Who Flies Acro at Babadağ?

Ölüdeniz has produced and attracted some of the sport's best: world-cup acro athletes train here, international stars migrate in for the events, and the local tandem corps includes pilots with thousands of dynamic flights over the bay.

The mountain's role in acro history is real — the combination of altitude, sea and infrastructure made it one of the sport's original proving grounds, and today's SIV and acro courses continue that lineage.

What Sets an Acro Pilot Apart

Beyond a standard tandem licence:

  • Thousands of manoeuvre repetitions from spirals to advanced tricks
  • SIV mastery — recovering a misbehaving wing is their daily bread
  • Water-training experience and rescue-scenario drills
  • For tandem acro: senior SHGM certification plus specific dynamic-flight experience

Flying With Them

Book a tandem acro flight and the pilot assigned is one of our most senior — dynamic flying is a privilege we reserve for the pilots with the deepest margins.

Solo pilots looking to enter acro should start with an SIV course over the bay; ask us about training options and the local acro community.

FAQ – Acro Pilots

Are your acro tandem pilots specially qualified?

Yes — tandem acro is flown only by senior SHGM-certified pilots with extensive dynamic-flight experience. It is a smaller, hand-picked group within the team.

Do professional acro athletes really train at Ölüdeniz?

Yes — the bay is one of the sport's classic training arenas, and international acro events regularly bring the world's best to Babadağ. On many days you can watch them from the beach.

How do I start learning acro as a solo pilot?

The path runs through SIV: controlled manoeuvre training over water with radio guidance and boat cover. Ask us about SIV clinics and the local progression from there.
