Canada's first non-profit dedicated to making the experience of free flight accessible to people facing mobility challenges, spinal cord injuries, and other adversities.
Adaptive Airtime Paragliding Association is a Canadian non-profit dedicated to breaking down barriers and making the experience of free flight accessible to everyone — regardless of mobility, ability, or means.
We fly people with spinal cord and brain injuries, those living with cancer, mobility limitations, and a wide range of disabilities and special needs. From youngsters to the elderly, we are committed to taking anyone soaring who dreams of flying — at the same price as any regular tandem flight, and sponsored at our cost when cost is a barrier.
An unforgettable first taste of free flight — soaring above the Fraser Valley in a custom trike-chair tandem with an HPAC-certified instructor.
For the family, friends, or caretakers who come along. We do our best to fly the adaptive pilot and the support person together — sharing the moment in the air.
For those who dream of flying solo, we offer adaptive introduction lessons and complete HPAC P1/P2 certification courses — custom-tailored to each pilot.
Educational tandem flights and paragliding certification courses for the general public. 100% of net proceeds go directly to supporting AAPG's adaptive-flight mandate — every ride helps put a wheelchair pilot in the sky.

"For the very first time since my second injury, I felt limitless. Adaptive Airtime didn't just give me a taste of flight — they empowered me to dream bigger."

Our home flying sites are vehicle-accessible launches in the Fraser Valley — about an hour and a half from downtown Vancouver.
We can also arrange adaptive paragliding flights in Pemberton Valley and the BC Interior Okanagan region. Each site is selected for accessibility, safety, and the kind of mountain-and-river view that makes you forget the world below.
