Equipment for paragliding in Georgia: what you need to know about the equipment
Paragliding is one of the most popular extreme sports in Georgia. Because of its unique geography, many mountain ranges and amazing nature, Georgia is an ideal place for paragliding flights. However, before you go paragliding, you need to make sure you have the right equipment. In this article, we'll look at a few important factors to consider when choosing equipment for paragliding flights in Georgia.
The wing
A reliable wing provides safety and comfort during the flight. There are many places to fly a paraglider in Georgia, but not all are equally suitable for every type of wing. Before you buy a wing, make sure it is suitable for mountain conditions and has the right weight capacity for your weight. Also, make sure that the wing has all the necessary safety certifications.
The paraglider has a complex sling system. These slings form several tiers and are made of strong material that can withstand up to 100 kg of tensile strength. The paraglider is attached to the suspension system where the pilot sits, using these slings. The control handles, called paddles, are at the bottom of the slings. If the pilot wants to turn to the right, he pulls the right brake release and if to the left, he pulls the left brake release. If he pulls both the brakes, he will slow down on landing.
Rescue parachute
A rescue parachute is an essential element for safety in the event of an emergency. If something goes wrong during flight, a properly placed and donned additional parachute can save the pilot's life. When choosing a rescue parachute, make sure it meets safety requirements and has quality certificates.
GPS mountain navigator
Navigating in the mountains can be a challenge, so a mountain GPS navigator is a must for safe and comfortable flying. The navigator must have reliable communication and support with the GPS system. It should have the ability to display altitude, speed, flight direction, and location. You should also make sure that the navigator is loaded with all local maps and terrain information.
Protection
Protection includes a protective helmet, goggles or mask to protect your eyes from the sun and wind, and protection from cold and moisture. Temperatures can vary greatly in the mountains, so it is necessary to have the right clothes and shoes for paragliding in different conditions. It is best to choose clothing that keeps you warm but does not interfere with movement.
Radio station
A radio helps pilots stay in touch and exchange information about the weather, route, and other important matters. When selecting a radio, make sure it has sufficient range and supports appropriate frequencies to communicate with other pilots and the control center in the area.
Backpack
A backpack is needed to carry all necessary equipment and gear for paragliding in Georgia. The backpack should have sufficient capacity and be comfortable to carry for long distances.
In conclusion, paragliding is a fun and relatively safe sport if you choose the right equipment and follow all safety precautions. When choosing equipment for paragliding in Georgia, you should consider all of the above factors to ensure safety and comfort while flying. Don't skimp on equipment and gear because your life may depend on its quality.
