DHV

The DHV, Germany’s free flight association, is updating its advice on flying in the time of coronavirus at a dedicated page

Recreational paraglider pilots who don't need top performance should 'carefully consider' whether they need to fly a pod harness, the DHV has said.

There have been several fatalities lately caused by paraglider pilots taking off with their harness leg straps open, or by misjudging their altitude over water. Following investigation into these cases, the DHV have issued the following safety advice for paraglider pilots.
