FAQ

Who can participate in bodyflying?

If you can answer the following questions with YES, you can fly with us:
– You are older than 4 years.
– You weigh no more than 120 kg (265 lbs).
– You have never had a dislocated shoulder.
– You are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
– You are not pregnant.
In the case of acute injuries or chronic illnesses, please always consult your doctor before planning your flight.

Is bodyflying safe?

Yes, bodyflying in the wind tunnel is absolutely safe!
Every indoor skydiving participant receives a detailed briefing before they can fly. During the flight, you will be constantly accompanied by two experienced instructors. A flight instructor supports you in the airstream and ensures your safety. The flight controller monitors each of your movements from the control room next to the flight chamber and adjusts the speed of the airflow individually.
Before joining our company, each of our instructors has undergone a rigorous training program in accordance with European standards and is a certified wind tunnel instructor.

How long does one bodyflying flight last?

Each flight usually lasts two minutes and corresponds to the freefall time of two parachute jumps from a height of 4000 meters!
You can choose how often or how long you want to fly in our shop.
If you have booked a larger group package, we will divide the flight time fairly between all participants.
For example: Five of you share our family pack with 20 minutes flight time. Each participant flies for 4 minutes – we divide this time into two flights of 2 minutes each.

Can I fly in the windtunnel with my friends at the same time?

Unfortunately not. As a beginner, every flyer gets the full attention of the instructor, who ensures your safety. In addition, the wind speed is individually adapted to your body. It takes some practice to fly together with other people in the windtunnel. For experienced proflyers, our windtunnel offers space for up to 6 flyers.

How much time should I plan for?

Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for your experience on site.
Please arrive one hour before your planned flight to complete registration. The briefing begins half an hour before your flight. You will then be in the windtunnel for a maximum of 30 minutes and take turns with other participants from your group until everyone has flown their booked time.
In the meantime, your companions can make themselves comfortable in the spectator area and we will provide them with hot and cold drinks.

What’s included in the price?

Each of our beginner packages includes
– a personal briefing with your instructor
– all rental equipment including flight suit, helmet, goggles and ear plugs
– your individual flight time
– a demonstration flight by the instructor at the end of the session
– and a personalized certificate with your personal wind speed.

What should I wear to fly?

Wear comfortable clothes that you can move around in and that fit underneath the flight suit. Comfortable jeans or leggings with a T-shirt are ideal. It is important that you wear lace-up shoes so that you don’t lose them!

May I film and take photographs myself?

All accompanying persons who are not actively taking part in bodyflying are allowed to take as many photos and videos from outside through the glass until the memory card is full. Please respect the personal rights of the other participants and only take photos of your friends and family!
Unfortunately, for safety reasons, no loose objects may be taken into the antechamber of the wind tunnel – including smartphones and action cams.
Take a companion with you or simply choose our photo and video package so that you can go home with a lasting memory. We film your flight from 3 camera angles and take photos of your best smile with a professional camera. The pictures and videos will be available for you to download from our media kiosk for 30 days after your flight!

How high can I fly?

Our flight chamber is the highest in Germany with 19 meters! For safety reasons, beginners do not fly higher than 3 – 4 meters at the beginning and always under the supervision of an instructor. If the flying position allows it, there is the possibility to experience the so-called taxi-flight at a height of up to 10 meters together with the instructor. Proflyers who can safely control their body in the wind at the highest wind speed can also fly to the very top on their own.

How similar is bodyflying to skydiving?

Bodyflying simulates a parachute jump from an airplane. As soon as you enter the wind tunnel, you experience the free fall that usually only skydivers can feel. The feeling of flying is exactly the same – except that the temperatures in the wind tunnel are pleasantly warm all year round.
Most skydivers use our facility to become more confident in freefall, learn to control their bodies more precisely or try out new flying positions. The greatest added value of bodyflying or indoor skydiving is the almost infinite flight time, which massively increases the learning success. While a parachute jump from 4000 meters takes only 50 – 60 seconds, flyers can simulate up to 15 parachute jumps within half an hour. And professionals even several times a day!

Do I need to book an appointment?

We always recommend booking an appointment! Especially in winter and during vacation times, we are often fully booked and have no availability even for one flight. If you already have a voucher, you can redeem it here and arrange your appointment. Otherwise, click on “Book” under your desired product in our online store to purchase a voucher and then book your appointment.
During our opening hours, you can also contact us by phone to see if there is anything available.

How do I book an appointment?

Redeem your voucher online or click on the “Book” button in our store to add a product to your shopping cart. Our booking system will show you all available dates for your chosen flight experience on the following page.

How do I redeem my voucher?

I am flying for the first time. How many flights should I book?

In general, most of our guests fly between two and six minutes per person. Our smallest bodyflying package for adults or children is a two-minute flight. If you only want to try it out once, this is perfectly enough and a great experience. Did you know? One flight is as long as two parachute jumps from 4000 meters! Based on our experience, you will be held and supported quite a lot by your instructor during your first two minutes. However, bodyflying is super easy to learn and by your second flight you will have a greater awareness and will be able to stay stable in the air for longer. From the third flight onwards, most people can even fly their first maneuvers, such as turns. On the following flights, you will learn to control how high you fly and how to move alone in the wind tunnel.
For beginners, we recommend a maximum of 15 flight minutes per person per day, as in our individual or team training.

Can I change or cancel my appointment at short notice??

If something comes up and you cannot keep your flight appointment, you can always cancel or rebook your appointment free of charge up to 10 days before your flight.

To help you stay flexible even at short notice, we offer appointment cancellation and rebooking insurance for 7.50 €. Select the insurance as an option when purchasing the voucher and you can cancel or rebook your appointment free of charge up to 45 minutes before your flight. For vouchers already purchased without insurance, you can add it later during the booking process of your appointment.

For all last-minute (1 to 10 days before the booked date) rescheduling or cancelations without insurance, we charge a 30 € cancellation / rebooking fee for all packages up to 10 minutes, or 50 € for all packages from 11 – 30 minutes.
In the event of cancellation on the day of the flight, vouchers without insurance expire.

I have booked the Platinum package with 10 minutes (5 flights). Do I have to fly the whole time in one day?

Where can I find all available dates?

As soon as you have entered your voucher code, you will be shown all available dates for your flight duration. If you don’t have a voucher yet, you can find a brief overview in our online calendar.

How long is a voucher valid?

All vouchers are valid for 36 months from the date of purchase and can be redeemed at any time during our opening hours. Before your voucher expires, you can extend your experience for two further years for 30 € at any time via your customer account.

Do you also send gift vouchers by post?

Yes! Simply add your desired product to the shopping cart and add the gift card with postal delivery option in the next step. We will send you your gift card within 1 – 3 working days.

How does a windtunnel work?

The air flow in the wind tunnel is generated by four axial fans driven by electric motors with a total output of 1,800 KW. In two closed circuits, deflector blades at all corners control the wind in a circle. In the contraction section below the flight chamber, the wind from both circuits is brought together, accelerated and compressed. This creates a vertical column of air in the glass area on which you can fly. The temperature inside the wind tunnel is controlled manually and can be kept at a comfortable room temperature throughout the year by supplying fresh air.

How high is the wind speed during bodyflying?

Depending on your height, weight and flying position, we adjust the wind speed to your individual needs. Small children can fly from as little as 120 km/h, while adults need up to 180 km/h of wind. The maximum speed exceeds 300 km/h.

What is the easiest way to get there? Is there free parking?

The easiest way to reach us by car is via the A9 and A92. You can use our large free parking lot directly behind the FlyStation. You will find the entrance via the movie theater parking lot. Turn directly left and park your car behind the FlyStation building in our private parking lot.
You can reach us by public transport via the S-Bahn stations Neufahrn or Hallbergmoos and then by bus 692 to the bus stop Mintraching: Gewerbepark Römerweg.

I got a parking ticket even though I parked in your free parking lot. How can I submit an objection?

Since January 2024, the service provider ParkDepot has been monitoring our neighbor’s site. The maximum parking time there is set to one hour. The parking spaces at FlyStation Munich are and will remain free of charge for the duration of your stay with us! Since access to our private parking lot is via the cinema grounds, it has occasionally happened that our customers and employees have received a ” contract penalty” of € 30, although they have parked legally in our free parking lot.
Please make sure that you park in our free parking spaces when you visit us!
If you still receive a parking ticket, please do not pay and forward it directly to us: info@flystationmunich.com
Mention the day and time of your flight and the name of the person flying. We are in contact with the company and they are obliged to cancel these fines. In addition, we have already taken the necessary action and hope that there will be no further incorrect requests for payment.

Is there a café on site?

Yes, we are happy to provide you with hot or cold drinks before your flight. After the flight, you are welcome to stay for a beer. We can also treat your hunger with snacks such as pizzas or tarte flambée.
By the way: Even if you don’t have an appointment, you are always welcome to drop by for a coffee and watch the others fly.

Is my dog allowed in the building?

Yes, we love dogs! The background noise of the wind tunnel is not too loud for sensitive dog ears, even at high speeds. Ask our service team for water for your four-legged friend. Keep your dog on a leash at all times and make sure that an accompanying person who is not taking part in bodyflying stays with your dog at all times.

When do I count as a Proflyer?

Generally, every owner of a valid skydiving license is a proflyer. In addition: every indoor skydiver / bodyflyer with sufficient experience who can fly safely in the wind tunnel without assistance.
Skydiving students who are still in training are proflyers after one of our AFF training courses. As an indoor skydiver only, you can achieve proflyer status through our courses and benefit from unbeatable conditions for your further training.

How can I book proflyer time?

Before you can book your own time online, you must purchase your flight time in our store at the basic price with or without coaching. You will now find your current flight minutes in your customer account. You can now use the “Book” function to reserve your time in all Proflyer slots. You can pay the electricity surcharge for low or high speed on the day of your flight.
If you would like to arrange a larger amount of bookings at once, please contact us. We may also be able to offer you times outside the regular proflyer slots.

How can I apply for proflyer status??

Create a Proflyer account in our online store and apply for the status via the “Become a Proflyer” button. After we have checked your application, you can access all Proflyer packages and buy time.

What is the maximum amount of flight time I can book per session?

Ideally, you should book 10 – 15 minutes per session. A time slot always lasts 30 minutes and you will need short breaks between your flights to rest. We recommend a break of 30 minutes to 1 hour between each session so that you can watch your videos and start your next session optimally prepared.
If you come with friends with whom you want to take turns flying, you are of course welcome to book the entire half hour.

How can I change an existing booking?

Unfortunately, you cannot change your flight time online. Please call us during our opening hours or send us an e-mail. We will get back to you immediately and change your times.

I would like to organize and book several team trainings / tunnel camps. Can you help me?

With pleasure. If you would like to purchase more than 5 hours, please contact us by e-mail.
The same applies to FS teams, tunnel camps or regular flyers who would like to book their appointments for the entire training season. We may be able to offer you times outside our opening hours or the regular Proflyer slots.
