Acrobatics and SIV Trainee

Many pilots have also taken the opportunity to complete a safety training course using the unique height over the picturesque turquoise Mediterranean Sea. The course, aiming to improve mental and technical pilot skills, teaches pilots to recover from deliberately induced deflations, stalls and spins over the relative safety of the water. The calm sea allows about 1500m to be used to develop the skills needed to recover your glider from the most severe situations you may encounter.

Paragliding aerobatics or 'ACRO' is a new and spectacular discipline within this free-flying sport, in which the pilots search for new flying figures and movements pushing their gliders out of their 'normal' limits. This is possible thanks to the own charachteristics of their airships: paragliders are the slowest and lighter existent aircraft, and they have the most interactive and direct pilot control. That's why the pilot can use the energy created by the glider's movement in its 3 axes and transform it by changing the sense or direction, into radical manoeuvres at high speeds

Paragliding ACRO is pure movement and requires a very high piloting level. It is potencially VERY dangerous, and therefore it must be practised under high security measures: over water, with professional assistance or supervision, and progressing step by step in Acro Levels of manoeuvres.

ACRO has done something 'normal' paragliding hasn't: attract massive audiences to watch paragliding competitions and exibitions, put paragliding in the news and the media, and make of this sport a real entertaining and surprising show.
