SIV - LAKE GARDA
Learning Platform
Before the SIV course, you will receive access to the Flying Karlis coaching platform. This platform will provide you with the necessary knowledge for the course, ranging from site and safety briefing to explaining the fundamentals, roll and pitch control, rotations, and the mental aspects of learning under stressful situations. This pre-course preparation will save us a lot of time on the first day.
Learning new things takes time, and by having months to go through the information at your own pace, it will be much easier for you during the course. It is easier to recall information that you already know compared to learning it on the same day. This pre-course material will be sent to you months ahead of the course, allowing you ample time to understand it thoroughly.
3-Day SIV Malcesine
Before the course.
Please arrive in Malcesine before 6:00 pm on the day before the course begins. For example, if the course is scheduled for May 13th – 15th, you should arrive in the evening on May 12th. On the first evening, we will check all the equipment and have a pre-course briefing, which usually takes about 1-2 hours.
After the course.
We will have a discussion to review everything covered during the course and set future goals. We will also suggest practice exercises that you can do to continue progressing in your paragliding journey.
Daily schedule.
We will take the first available Cable Car to go up the mountain. Our goal is to complete 3 flights a day, but this is dependent on the weather. After each flight, we will have a video debriefing and set individual plans for the next flight.
At the end of the day, we will have a debriefing session to review the day’s activities and set goals for the following day.
Video footage
During the course, your activities over the lake will be filmed and used for a comprehensive video debrief. This debrief is an invaluable tool for enhancing your progression as it allows us to identify and analyze the finer details that may have been missed during the flight. By reviewing the video footage, we can provide you with personalized feedback and insights that will help you optimize your learning experience and continue to advance in the most effective way possible.
300 Newtown life jackets
The Seago Active 300N automatic life jacket offers superior buoyancy, ensuring that even if you are sleeping, your head will remain above water. The 3D Contour fit allows for complete freedom of movement, which is essential for using your arms during the SIV training. Designed to be almost unnoticeable for both men and women, this life jacket provides comfort and peace of mind.
Equipped with a double crotch strap for added comfort and a burst zip for faster inflation, this life jacket is specifically designed to save lives. You can trust in its cylinder safe technology, which prevents the cylinder from unscrewing and ensures reliable inflation when you need it the most.
Your first swim is free. If you choose to swim multiple times, we will charge an additional 50 euros for each CO2 cylinder.
Boat in the water
We have been working with the local boat operators for years. They are extremely friendly and professional in assisting pilots who go into the water. They will be waiting for you in the water with the boat engine running, and they will listen to our radio communication. They have a lot of experience navigating the SIV courses and knowing when to start heading towards pilots in need. They provide this assistance year-round.
