ACRO - Sports Maneuver Training: Acro Courses

Acro paragliding is the "high aerobatics" of flight. It is the most spectacular and, at the same time, the most high-risk discipline in the sport. Entry into Acro courses is permitted only after the pilot has achieved flawless mastery of SIV course skills. Training Stages (By Maneuvers): A) Intro to Acro: Wingover: The "alphabet" of Acro. Swinging the wing from side to side at an angle of more than 90 degrees. This stage teaches energy management. Spiral Dive: A controlled rapid descent with high G-force loading. Asymmetric Spiral: A spiral where the wing "dives" on every rotation. B) Intermediate Maneuvers: SAT: One of the most famous Acro maneuvers, where the pilot and the wing rotate around different centers (the wing moves forward, while the pilot moves backward). Full Stall: Completely stalling the wing in mid-air and performing a controlled "recovery." Deep Stall / Parachutal: Maintaining the wing in a vertical descent mode. C) Advanced Acro: Helicopter: The wing rotates around its vertical axis like a helicopter propeller. Tumble / Looping: Rotating the wing vertically over and under the pilot (vertical flip). Misty Flip / McTwist: Dynamic maneuvers that require reactions within fractions of a second. 3. Safety in Acro Courses Acro training is never conducted over land. Over Water: All Acro practice is performed over a lake or the sea. Safety Boat: A rescue boat is constantly on standby on the water to recover the pilot. Equipment: Acro pilots use specialized "Acro Harnesses" equipped with two reserve parachutes. Automatic Life Jacket: The pilot wears an inflatable vest that activates upon contact with water. 4. Required Documentation and Prerequisites License: Minimum P4 or P5 level. SIV Certificate: Entry is strictly prohibited unless the pilot has completed at least 2-3 full SIV clinics. Insurance: Specialized sports insurance that specifically covers acrobatic flying.
