Advanced SIV - (Stall and Spin Recovery)
Stall and Spin Recovery (Advanced) This is the most critical stage, where pilots learn to handle the wing when it stops flying (stalls). Full Stall: Completely stopping the wing and performing a controlled recovery. Spin (Negative): Recovering from a situation where one side of the wing stalls. Search for Backfly: Finding the "sweet spot" of the wing in a stall to stabilize it before release.

Advanced SIV – Daily Training Plan
The daily plan for an Advanced SIV course is not just a list of flights—it is a process of psychological and technical transformation for the pilot. Each day is built upon the experience of the previous one to minimize risk and maximize the pilot's control.

Advanced SIV: High-Level Course Overview
Advanced SIV represents the pinnacle of paragliding safety training. At this stage, a pilot learns not only how to recover from an incident but also how to manage the full deformation of the wing and its subsequent "rebirth" in mid-air. This course is essential for those planning to fly EN-C or EN-D class wings, engage in acrobatics, or pursue professional tandem piloting.

Description of Collapses at the Advanced SIV Level
Handling collapses within an Advanced SIV course is no longer just about pulling one side of the wing. Here, the focus is on simulating a real crisis, where everything happens at high speed, with high energy, and aggressive rotation.
