Spirals w/ Rapid Exit - Day 1 - SIV for Beginners - BANDARRA

Welcome to our new SIV for Beginner Series!
We went to France to take part in Flyeos' SIV course and tried to film as much as possible. We ended up coming away with much more than expected so decided to put this playlist together. Hope it's helpful for beginners in paragliding.
On Day 1 we covered the basics and did a couple of runs on Spirals with Rapid Exits. These seemingly simple manoeuvres are a good assessment of a pilot's skill with it comes to spacial awareness, timing, G tolerance and much more.

I’m looking forward to the day I can do my first SIV course. As a career helicopter pilot having done what must be a many hundreds if not a thousand plus emergency procedures in training (and a bunch for real) over my 40 years flying those machines I know the value of emergency procedures training. It can be nerve wracking going in but the boost to your confidence you get after finishing really helps you improve. Great video thanks,

[@kazimmuhammad9137]

I love this series as it gives perspectives of a first time SIV student (I can relate to it more as I have never done it ) and also of some one experienced, so much thankful to both of you for sharing this and also sharing your thoughts about each day's tasks.

[@FlyBabyFlyPPG]

Thanks Andres and Yema so great job SIV safe my flying career, when you don't have the best instruction and wanna fly you have to lose the fear. SIV was my friend.

[@vimalpatel5557]

Hi Andre and Gemma. Really nice watching these videos! These videos are great memories of our course together. Keep up the good work.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Cheers Vim!

[@jwburton]

Thanks for posting videos of your SIV experience! It’ll be fun to contrast and compare our experiences as I was undergoing SIV at nearly the same time but under different supervision/location.

[@mikepaul6205]

How awesome for you guys. I feel as if I have even learned something about the hard breaking just from watching you!! Thank you for all that you do!!

[@AndreBandarra1]

Cheers Mike, that's the objective, we hope by sharing people will learn stuff here and there and we'll all be safer pilots

[@adamsilver7268]

Excellent as always! Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@bradleybeck9978]

Good work! Thank you for sharing the experiences!

[@drewlawrence696]

These are excellent guys, very helpful, kudos to you both… Many thanks indeed 🙏

[@manuelfischer9603]

This is great. Can't wait for the following videos 👍👍👍

[@SkidzFPV]

Enjoying you posting your SIV experience! Look forward to more. I’m at about 50 hours myself and have yet to take a SIV. Not because I’m too scared just because I haven’t had the money. And I really need to take a SIV because I don’t fly coastal ridge soaring, I literally have less than 5 hours of ridge soaring and the other 45 is all thermic mountain conditions. I have had a couple collapses, and regularly fly in fairly strong conditions, mid day, 5-6 m/s climbs, so even though I have prevented most collapses by active piloting I still have had 2. Not big collapses, maybe 30% at most and both where completely benign. But considering this is the type of flying I do I really need to TA a SIV

[@AndreBandarra1]

Absolutely, recommend it 100%! 50hours is a bit of a sweet spot for it too

[@sandrainthesky1011]

Super congrats Gemma!! Such a huge step! I just got back from an SIV in Turkey and feel way more confident about aspects that terrified me before. Knowledge truly is power, I hope it has worked for you the same way! Looking forward to the next parts of this.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Great to hear it. Cheers Sandra!

[@Hemersonr]

muito bom ver a noçao de psicao pendular acredito que é a maior causa de incidentes, perder a noção de onde estamos no pendulo e o que fazer... levantar a mao permitir o mergulho e fazer o catch no momento apropriado

[@thomasschray5733]

Great video guys

[@AndreBandarra1]

Thanks Thomas!

[@CuervoRC]

When I did the SIV last summer I was scared to death, but then there is no vertigo or feeling of falling, at least with my paraglider the 70% collapses are not so bad. Oh, and one of the guys who did the course with me had the parachute disconnected from the harness a year ago, it must be something quite common.

[@lobbyrobby]

I'd like to get into paramotoring. I think a siv course at some point is a very good idea. However, this looks extremely scary to me and I'm sitting on my couch haha. I can't imagine being up there!

[@raoulduke1914]

cool for you to document this guys! I have over 100 hrs but have not done an SIV because of extremely limited opportunity where I am, I will probably need to travel to Europe to get good instruction and will be very costly

[@emmawrathall2700]

This is great, looking forward to seeing the rest - really good to get your experience of siv Gemma as I think I too would be bit scared going into it but can see it would help with confidence. 👍

[@AndreBandarra1]

Cheers Emma, I think you would love it!

[@sbir555]

Perfect video I needed to see leading up to a SIV with Flyeo NZ soon 👏🏼🙂👍🏼

[@AndreBandarra1]

Awesome! We met Chris the week we were there, top bloke!

[@geraldaliasjednolan9893]

Excellent Folks you where much braver than me on the 1st day , Great stuff

[@patrickswitzer628]

Great stuff! So what did you find is the key to having a straight climb-out phase on the rapid spiral exit? Seems Malin is referring to the "exit window" as the point at which pilot swings directly under canopy, I would think you want to have your corrections in by then?

[@AndreBandarra1]

Thanks! It’s hard to explain in text. A combination of voice and hand gestures makes it a little easier but one day I want to do a video about it

[@OlafKlein]

Hi Gemma, hi Andre, nice to see what you were up to when we met last 😜. I'm going to be in Portugal from tomorrow on for a week... Down at Algarve coast... Flight leaves in 4 hours.

[@AndreBandarra1]

Great to meet you there and great stuff Olaf! Have a good time in the Algarve :)

[@TONYPARAMOTOR]

[@seddypsp]

Very interesting and detailed video, looking forward to the next day. Will we get one video a week?

[@AndreBandarra1]

Cheers! One video a day! Day 2 is tomorrow already!
