What Is SIV Training in Paragliding?

SIV: Simulation d’Incident en Vol

SIV is French for simulation of an incident in flight. Instead of waiting for the air to surprise you, you provoke the classic incidents yourself — high above the water, with an instructor on the radio and a rescue boat below — and you practise the recovery until it becomes automatic.

Which Manoeuvres Do You Practise?

• Asymmetric collapse and its recovery
• Frontal collapse and pitch control
• Full stall and spin exits
• Spiral dives and spiral neutralisation
• Wingovers and other acro fundamentals for advanced pilots

Why Over Water?

Over water, altitude is a cushion and the landing area is soft. Every pilot wears a life jacket — you can rent one from FLYSPOT for 5 € a day — and a rescue boat is on station for the whole session.

Who Is SIV Training For?

SIV courses are for licensed pilots who already fly regularly and want to fly better: better reactions, calmer decisions, and the confidence that comes from having felt every bad situation and come out of it safely.
