Wings

Subcategories

• Certification EN A

  Tests for Paragliders with maximum passive safety and extremely forgiving flying characteristics. Gliders with good resistance to departures from normal flight. Designed for all pilots including pilots under all levels of training.

• Certification EN B

  Tests for paragliders with good passive safety and forgiving flying characteristics. Gliders with some resistance to departures from normal flight. Designed for all pilots including pilots under all levels of training.

• Certification EN C

  Tests for Paragliders with moderate passive safety and with potentially dynamic reactions to turbulence and pilot errors. Recovery to normal flight may require precise pilot input. Designed for pilots familiar with recovery techniques, who fly “actively” and regularly, and understand the implications of flying a glider with reduced passive safety.

• Certification EN others

  Tests for Paragliders with demanding flying characteristics and potentially violent reactions to turbulence and pilot errors. Recovery to normal flight requires precise pilot input. Designed for pilots well practised in recovery techniques, who fly very actively, have significant experience of flying in turbulent conditions, and who accept the implications of flying such a wing

• Homologation DGAC

  Paragliders intended for paramotor use and approved by the DGAC (Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile) are not necessarily approved with the standard EN free flight (A, B, C, ...).
