Certification
The SIGMA 8 has been awarded LTF and EN. The certification reports
can be downloaded from www.advance.ch.
Certification ratings can only provide limited information about a pa-
raglider’s flying behaviour in thermally active and turbulent air. The
certification grading is based primarily on provoked extreme flight
manoeuvres in calm air.
During the development of an ADVANCE paraglider, the emphasis is
first and foremost on flying behaviour and handling and not exclusive-
ly on the certification test. The result is a well-rounded product with
the familiar ADVANCE handling. Nevertheless, the certification rat-
ing occupies a significant proportion of the specifications that have
to be met.
