Required piloting skills 

Certified  in  B  category,  the  STELVIA  is  a  paraglider  with  good  passive  safety  and 
forgiving flying characteristics. It proves to show some resistance to departures from 
normal flight. 
 
However,  considering  its  layout  aspect  ratio  of  5.7,  its  fine  handling  and  its  quick 
reactions, the STELVIA is clearly a sport wing. It is not suitable for basic and lower 
level 

training. 

 
The  STELVIA  is  a  sport  model  designed  for  experienced  pilots  who  have  been 
practising for minimum two years, keep flying on a regular basis of at least 50 flight 
hours per year and master an active and well measured piloting, even under stress. 
 

General remarks about paragliding 

Paragliding is a risky sport ; a careful practise is therefore highly advisable. 

 

The  pilot  must  check  the  airworthiness  of  his  equipment,  and  in  particular  of  his 
paraglider before each single take-off. The pilot is the only master aboard and flies at 
his own risks.
