Basic Concepts for flight with Dixon White A program on meteorology for all forms of sport aviation including Hang Gliding, Paragliding, Ultralights, Triking, Powered Parachutes, etc. This DVD takes your experience, skill and knowledge and weights them against the weather in the decision of "whether to fly". An excellent overview of this most complex topic.

Bruce Goldsmith's new DVD is set to become the new benchmark in SIV instruction. In 1992, the Airwave designer's first film 'Instability' helped thousands of pilots gain insight into tips and tricks learnt by the professional test pilots. As paragliders have developed, so have the techniques required to fly them safely through turbulence and during radical manoeuvres. Instability 2 is an essential update for all pilots wanting to fly at their safest. This DVD and its accompanying booklet will guide you step-by-step through some of the most critical lessons you'll ever need as a paraglider pilot. Instability 2 is not a do-it-yourself instructional guide. To learn any of the manoeuvres outlined on this DVD, you should be under instruction from an experienced SIV instructor in appropriate conditions.
Running time: 38 minutes. DVD all regions. Shot on location in the maritime Alps, south of France.

Jocky Sanderson's Performance Flying DVD
When it comes to making paragliding films, Jocky Sanderson doesn't pull any punches. His slick production skills were first evidenced in his earlier films, Security in Flight and Speed to Fly. Jocky's latest film, produced with Ozone's test team, hones in on the finer piloting skills of flying XC, Acro and SIV. Performance Flying is set to redefine what's possible in free flight cinematography. A high speed laboratory camera has been employed to capture the clearest slow motion sequences of paragliding manoeuvres in existence. On-board and air-to-air point of view cameras get you right in close during loops, SATs, Helicopters and all the popular Acro manoeuvres, plus the SIV essentials like Spin Recovery, symmetric tucks, twists and stalls. Jocky is one of the world's most celebrated advanced instructors. In the DVD's Cross Country section, the experienced competition pilot/ team leader will help you improve your thermalling, scratching, transitions and use of speed bar and help you understand more about inversions, the second climb, what to do at base, flatland techniques and lots more.

Security in Flight & Speed To Fly - now together on one superbly mastered DVD!
Security in Flight is an "Instability" documentary - how to anticipate, cope with and confront problems... St. Hilaire festival prize winner, presented by The SIV-Master, Jocky Sanderson. Essential viewing for paraglider pilots. PG.
Speed To Fly: Using air-to-air camera work, Jocky Sanderson, bronze medal 1995 World Championships, takes you on a cross-country flight, stopping off at the world's premier flying sites to illustrate important flying points and get valuable gems of advice from some of the world's best pilots, from thermalling tips to comp. strategy. For pilots who want to make the most of their XC flying, this video is a must. Taking off in Australia, we stop in Brazil, Mexico, France, Turkey and Korea - covering all aspects of XC flying. Thermalling - coring - speed to fly - decision-making - comps - psychology - SIV and emergencies - retrieve. The business! 80 mins

This DVD is for beginner or intermediate pilots wishing to keep up with their newly acquired skills or prepare for training.
Lots of animated segments illustrate the theory - chapters include: Equipment / Flying / Launching / Aerodynamics / Meteorology / Flight Rules plus a bonus interview with the 2003 and 2005 British Paragliding Champion and test pilot.

From the ‘Paragliding: Learning to Fly’ team comes an in-depth and up-to-date study of the black art of ground handling.
Why bother messing around on the ground when all you want to do it fly? Well, unfortunately poor ground handling skills account for a high percentage of the accidents we see today. Mastering your wing on the ground gives you the confidence to handle yourself on tricky take offs in difficult conditions. The result is you’ll be a safer pilot who’ll fly more often that those who struggle to control their wings on the deck.
This DVD not only breaks down each exact aspect of launching and ground handling it also incorporates a series of exercises to hone you skills.
Ground Handling uses the same 3D animations that make ‘Paragliding: Learning to Fly’ such a fantastic learning tool. This is for the beginner, Intermediate, and advanced pilot wanting to brush up.

No need to pack and re pack the glider for transport to take off. The inside pocket is integrated in the system and allows you to pack the carry-all bag itself within a minute. Incredibly handy when you need to get the glider packed away quickly... the system is very light and very small, and features an integral pocket and two handles for ease of transport.

Don't spare on safety!
The Sky Spare is a top quality rescue parachute made out of the best materials on the market. 9082 zero porosity fabric from Porcher Marine helps achieve an outstandingly low sink rate with very a small surface area - the resulting low weight of the reserve is not only an advantage for the comfort of the pilot, it is also a "must" safety wise as the smaller a parachute is, the quicker it will deploy.
The Sky Spare is a classic round shaped pulled-down apex parachute. This simple concept is the best guarantee of reliability.
M 60-75kg, L 75-95kg, XL 95-120kg TANDEM £640

The Sky Spare is also designed to eliminate some of the commonest possible mistakes during the (re)packing process. Folding loops are sewn on the top of the canopy. The panels that have to be sorted out on the right or on the left have different colours and the two upper and the two lower lines are also clearly differentiated by colour.

SKY LITE is EN certified round shape canopy which is only about 1 kg of weight (depending on the size). EN certification procedures guarantee that the rescue was tested according to the real paragliding situations – sink rate certified with pilot, stability, opening, deployment time...
M - up to 80kg, L - up to 95kg, XL up to 115kg
And of course, the load test – minimal and maximal weights tested in the 40 meters free fall. And still – SKY LITE and its 1 kg passed all the demanding procedures.
The main advantages are:
very light
very fast opening
classical round shape for easy packing
high quality materials

The Mayday has been manufactured since 1984 and over 20,000 of them have been put into service since then. Over 200 lives have been saved as a result of Mayday deployments, and none lost. The canopy cloth is F111 "zero porosity" ripstop nylon. The skirt and apex skirt is reinforced with 1’mil spec nylon tape, neatly wrapped and stitched with a precision four-needle machine.
The line attachments have V-Tab reinforcements, sewn in place with a computerized machine, ensuring consistently high quality and strength.
The Bridle is made from 6000 pound Nylon Webbing (UV Resistant). The attachment loop is covered with a Teflon sheath, to protect it from dangerous friction which may occur during deployment. Finally the bridle has a line sheath attached, to protect the lines where they link to it. The Mayday has very fast opening times as measured in tests
This is, in our opinion, the most tried and tested non-steerable system available.
Supplied in universal deployment bag.
All models are certified offering a sink rate of less than 5.4m/s at max load.

Nine fully customisable main display screens on the Leonardo Pro provide the pilot with as much (or as little information) as they require. Automatic switching between the Thermal Display Screen and the Glide Compass or Glide Plotter Display Screens is handled by the onboard Intelliflight software, which detects if you are thermaling or on a glide.

Comprehensive "Speed To Fly" information using data from both the integrated high sensitivity 20 channel SIRF III GPS receiver and the optional Digifly Air Speed Indicator unit will help the you make the correct piloting decisions at critical points in your flights.
The Leonardo Pro has a double battery system. The main power is supplied by an internal rechargeable lithium battery (supplied as standard) with a full recharge time of only 3 hours. This battery has no memory effect, so it can be be partially recharged, it also has a very low self discharge rate (more than one year) and works very well at low temperatures. Battery life ranges from 30 hours to 200 hours depending on whether GPS has been activated.
The Leonardo Pro has a non-rechargable 1.5 volt AA size backup battery. This battery is situated in the removable battery "slot" and can also be replaced with other 1.5 volt AA size batteries. Rechargeable batteries can be used, though are not recommended for the backup battery system because of their high self discharge rate (after 2 months they are completely discharged and useless). If using a rechargable backup battery, note that this battery is not recharged by the instrument but has to be removed and recharged externally by the user. The backup battery life ranges from 20 hours to 200 hours depending on whether GPS has been activated.
The auto start 3D flight logger (of both flight and GPS data) can store up to 100,000 data points from your flights.
