An Olympic Wings original idea that beautifully reached its main objective to transmit knowledge to pilots, tandem pilots and instructors in paragliding. It is our team’s great joy to have presented this opportunity to pilots at our flying venue Mount Olympus.
Our paragliding center and school, operating since 1995, welcomes pilots and paragliding schools from all over the world, who we support and guide in our region Mt. Olympus and Greece for flying during paragliding holidays and our special paragliding events.
Thus we have gained a real time experience of the growing evolution in design and performance of the new gliders. This evolution offers to pilot’s maximum functionality with a minimum input yet presents with the need to revisit our techniques as pilots in glider handling and to acquire a better global understanding of equipment behavior more so to present to student pilots.
Many paragliding instructors from the top paragliding schools in Greece participated in the training seminar as much as professional tandem pilots.
Paragliding instructors gave the chance to some of their student pilots entering the sport to also follow the seminar giving them unique insights.
The Albanian Federation with its president Arket Islami and a team of pilots honored us by also attending the seminar course benefiting from this unique opportunity.
Our team Olympic Wings together with all seminar participants are very thankful to Mr. Robin Friess, Mr Peter Croeniger and Mr Simon Winkler for their time, deep consideration and efforts to make this training seminar possible and most rewarding.
We are more than satisfied to follow this short and elaborate course that contained theory, discussions, video analysis, video presentations and practice flights on modern techniques and safety recommendations that have been tested and researched with today’s modern gliders, harnesses and overall equipment.
DHV, Deutsche Hängegleiterverband e.V., the German Paragliding Federation, is one if not the most active paragliding country federation in the world with listed 40.000 active pilots and over 320 regional paragliding schools, clubs and associations under its roof.
They have supported our sport for many years mostly by collecting a lot of information, developing and testing many theories in paragliding to result to safety for the public as much as leisure pilots, performance pilots, professionals, schools and student pilots alike.
The past years the federation has made many steps forward to the direction of examining new gliders in relation to pilot’s skills with safety classifications, activity and equipment safety issues in general, educational methods that correspond to the latest tendencies and more.
During the training course these findings were presented to us with openness and simplicity offering reassurance by creating a clear view perspective on efficiency and safety.
