Paraglider Takeoff Kaleidoscope XXL #2

[@feuquegougueul1592]

I just think i'm too old and in bad physical condition, now, but how I enjoy flying, gliding, some years ago! I'm 73 YO now, and I miss gliding, but it's all over now !. You, lucky friends, always able to fly, have a little think for me, and I wish you nives flights !. Be safe, and enjoy long years of pleasure !... Charles.

[@cloudnineparagliding]

Thank you so much! I hope you can relive some of your joy by watching! All the best! :)

[@flinkermarkus8430]

Thank you C9 for these condensed launch analyses. I think we can all learn a lot from these launches. Especially from the starts that are not quite perfect. One thing I personally learned last season: Backward starts are not always the best technique. You have to practice both forward and reverse starts to be able to choose the right technique for the current conditions. Only when you have trained both can you really choose freely.

[@cloudnineparagliding]

Thank you for your comment! Yes there are so many takeoff techniques, and each one has its strenghts for various conditions. The more you know, the safer you become.

[@manixburn6403]

I love takeoff ! When the magic happen. And also a instant resume of pilot skill, sensitivity.

[@cloudnineparagliding]

Your are so right! Thank you for your comment! ✌️😊

Nice videos from different locations. Safe fly to all gliders.

[@ohiyesa2328]

Why dont people kite for a second before launching? they're always in a hurry

[@SkywalkerPaul]

Most in the video are beginners

[@cloudnineparagliding]

Thank you for your comment! Your are right that there is a lot to improve in many takeoffs here! However, there is not a single trainee in this video. They are all fully licenced pilots. If they were trainees, I think they would do better. Why? Because trainees do practice, they know it's important to try to get better. This is something pilots tend to forget once they got licenced. Some of them are just happy if they manage to get airborne somehow, forgetting about the fact they are relying on luck to at least some degree, and that it needs some small efford to improve with every launch.

[@Avrora707]

Each pilot has his own individual ground handling and take off style. I usually try to do several seconds stop between wing rising and takeoff moment to be sure that it is safe to take off and no one pilot fly close to me.

[@ohiyesa2328]

Let me re-introduce you to my good friend - Mr. Groundhandling. If your launch sucks - it's probably because you've been ghosting him.

[@cloudnineparagliding]

Yes, he's a really handy guy! ;D

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Did you check out the other Kaleidoscopes?

[@dgmoriggia]

90% of the people in this video skip the CONTROL PHASE... just run and hope for the best... thats is how accidents happen. NEVER skip the control phase !!!!

[@cloudnineparagliding]

I'm not shure if it's 90% But you are right of course, control phase is very important! This video doesnt show how it should be done, it just shows reality.

[@CR-ul6nx]

[@robertlettner1771]

Nice video enjoyed the entire thing! I'm new to paragliding and so I wonder, it looks like most pilots are too hard on their breaks as they start, and run against the wing to start. It seems like less break would be more comfortable, easier to fly off.

[@joelrauber9516]

you are new to paragliding ;-)

[@PhilippeLarcher]

you're probably right I'm new too, but as I understand it from very explicit instructions from top pros (live training, videos, articles, books, and FFVL exam material), the proper brake sequence after inflation is - control phase: stop the surge, risers should be 90° from the SLOPE (not from vertical) - acceleration phase: (progressive) hands to the pulleys, progressive loading of the wing, progressive acceleration - takeoff: once the lift and loading are enough (this depends of the wind), gentle brake to "flare" off the slope Mixing up those 3 phases is suboptimal, and there seem to be a lot of this in the compilation I'll quote Chrigel: "in most activities you train a lot, in pg people want to fly but dont want to train"

[@karlapaiz7638]

@@PhilippeLarcher 23:33 flare off the slope like this ?? or is this more like almost deep-stall off the slope ?

[@PhilippeLarcher]

@@karlapaiz7638 I didn't see a flare at this timecode 😅

[@cloudnineparagliding]

When the wing comes above your head, you need a certain amount of break to sync its speed with yours. The calmer you inflate the wing, the less break you need, which is a good thing, because then its less likely to lift you of the ground involuntary. Still in most cases its ok to use like 50 to 70 % of brake, which gives you time for checking if everything is ok and for the decission for takeoff or abort. Once you start accelerating, you should release the breake slowly as you increase your speed, but keep some little pressure so you can feel what is going on and can react if the wing overshoots for instance. Still, every launch is different and there might be some variations needed. Practicing ist the key to success and progression. The best thing to do is go ground handling and kiting your wing in various conditions on flat or slightly increasing fields. Its the best training and also lots of fun! Yes, some of the pilots here really shoud do that too. Or better still: Anyone should practice ground handling, as you can allways improve your skills, regardless what level you already reached! The sky is the limit ;)

[@behooman7749]

Question: why do paraglider not have a rigid - yet light-weight - structure at the front to prevent the sail collapsing in case of wind turbulence?

[@cloudnineparagliding]

Because its not working. They tried it in the early days. In case of turbulence, the wing will not collaps, but it can shoot very fast in unpredictable positions, leading to severe accidents. The collaps of the wing actually is not a bug, its a feature, it stops the wing in strong turbulences. Even though you allways try to prevent the wing from collapsing, when it happens its easy to handle in most cases if you did your homework. Anyways, if you have a big collapse, its a sign for 1) you are flying in too turbulent air 2) you need more training to fly your wing proper 3) you are flying a wing that is too demanding and you shoud step down to a more save / beginner wing, or 4) more than one of this factors.

Really nice to see so many lunches in quick succession, but so many are really sloppy. Won't wait for parachute, hands allower, jumping to start???, but nice to learn too, some are really nice. But it bothers me that so many fly with sloppy starting tehnike. Are those mostly trainees?

37:10 Did this person try to fly without being pinned?

[@cloudnineparagliding]

Yes, he did. Fortunately he resisted the comon reaction to cling to the harness but did the only thing that most likely saves your life in this situation, which is to put up the arms completely in order to let go the harness and the glider before you left the ground. After that, he was standing there quietly, looking back at his glider for several minutes, because he immediately understood how close he had been to a fatal incident.
