Arrive at the take-off point at the top of Signal Hill to check in, sign any required waivers and get fitted with harness and helmet.
Tips from local experts:

- No public transport directly serves the take-off; if using a rideshare, request drop-off at the end of Signal Hill Road.
Safety briefing & gear fitting
Short safety briefing covering take-off and landing procedures, harness fitting and pilot instructions. Staff will fit helmet and harness and answer any medical or safety questions.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear closed shoes and comfortable clothing suitable for a short run on take-off; no sandals.
