Common Intermediate Paragliding MISTAKE

- Paragliding students graduate from their instructors, and they seem to be missing a key framework to understand how, where and when to try new things in their progression. This video explains that mistake and how to remedy it safely.

Another good video. Ari, you are throw’n down what most pilots need to be pick’n up.
This content has been missing for far too long and is much needed.
Thanks Man!

Almost every time I've seen folks do acro, there's a net or spotter to catch them. Unless of course they're at the Olympics. When is comes to aero, I always practice above an all female nude beach.
This should be a PSA
The certified flight instructor in me says that what's clearly lacking once most para pilots leave the school house, is a set of pre-defined maneuvers along with grading criteria for them to work on. Intermediate folks need to be assigned these tasks. From the fixed wing annals of forgotten lore, there are several government publications that outline maneuvers. Many 3rd party books I own, supplement those dusty old government printing office books with much better illustration of each maneuver's history, intent, use and conquest, through lengthy explanations and diagrams, from the simple Immelmann to the Lomcovak. Everything about the maneuvers, from how to do them, to how to measure if they were done well or not, is examined in great detail. I'm not so sure any equivalent exists for para. The shortcoming I see with most self guided (and some instructor guided for that matter) PG/PPG progression, is that the session becomes rather one of surviving random control inputs. Each flight in the area of advancing should be more about attempting to accomplish a well understood set of criteria; exit attitude, altitude, heading and energy state... before the first ounce of weight shift or break input. I have taken new guys along, just to get them to expand their experience envelope to include things as simple as ground reference maneuvering. That is something they never should have left training without.
Love this idea! Well written and explained here as well. I share this idea and I use my youtube as a way for people to be able to have some milestones and clear explainations
Thank you very much.
I do find this very helpful. keeping one's mind up-to-date with your situation is a very important habit in flight. You should be roughly calculating where that reserve parachute would get you the entire time you're flying.
Clearly explained! Thanks. I try to fly like that, even though I may have to be too conservative in decisions.
You're welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to shout out a warning call.
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Time to write the Help For Pilots book. You can do it.
grate advice, in all +altitude sports....
"Pull high!"
You were are never too low to throw your reserve. You will never be a good enough pilot to even think about the idea of being too low to throw the reserve.
Awesome video!! I love being in the box🤪
Me too!! Thanks man!
It would be fair to say what's the safe height. “As high off of the ground as you can” can be 50 m for someone and not even 1000 m for someone else. My SIV instructor recommended us to finish the maneuvers at least 200 m AGL. It means that if you want to attempt a 200 m spiral, you should be at least 400 m AGL.
Thats a good guideline. "Safe" height changes for everyone, in every location.
Stay in the box!!!
Thanks hombre
You're welcome! Love you bro
how many years have you been paragliding?
