Airworks Paragliding

Simulated Incidents in Flight
SIV in the 1st World – Lake Annecy, France
18 – 24 May 2013 & 25 – 31 May 2013

This course is personally tailored specifically to ensure that whatever level pilot you are now, you’ll remain in one piece to become an old pilot! As well as being educational, SIV is great fun… The initial trepidation at collapsing your perfectly functional glider is rapidly replaced by a huge grin as you learn how safe your wing is and just how easy it is to pilot out of the most unusual attitudes

Robs as new Evo now sold has been to India

freeflightbrighton — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 07:17:37 +0000

Rickard bought the wing Sprint Evo I had for sale recently – I usually get a new wing in March and sell in October of the same year so they like new.

Rickard been off to india just recently arriving back with video to come in the near future we hope, he had an epic time and clocked up 20 hrs!

For now he has supplied some older news of a very interesting part of the world.

Thanks Rob

Was hoping to bring the glider out this weekend but forecast says nothing but rain.

Found some photos of my paragliding trip to Iran. The guy with the rifle wanted to invite me to hunt mountain goats but the gun was jammed and we all tried to fix it over a cup of tea J
Paragliding is good. Easy take off and landings (no threes or any obstacles). You can get 7 day visa on arrival without any problem. Pricing is good but you should negotiate in advance. I managed to go from “300 USD a day” to “friends do not have to pay” after some discussions. Even girls are welcome and there are many female local pilots but you have to keep in mind the restrictions for woman clothing. And for sure there is NO after fly beer.
I even tried skiing one year as well and it was a very odd feeling having after ski without beer.

Interesting Video to watch on SIV and ideas

Sky Spare XL Reserve for sale £ 299:00 Max in flight 135Kg

Sky Lite Reserve for sale £ 299:00

SKY SPARE reserve parachutes are manufactured from the best materials available on the market. Thanks to 9082 material with zero porosity (by French manufacturer Porcher Marine) was achieved an exceptionally low sink rate while using a smaller area.

Smaller area of course meant weight loss of reserve parachute. With this comes not only the convenience for a pilot who does not have to carry bulky and heavy reserve parachutes, but also smaller area has a major impact on safety. It is known that reserve parachutes with less open space perform much faster!

SKY SPARE is a parachute of classic circular structure with the central cord. During development, we looked for simplest technical solutions. Simplicity in this case ensures error-free use and long life.

SKY SPARE reserve parachute is certified according to EN 12491 test, which is considered as the most demanding test.
