SIV Coaching & Clinics

SIV stands for Simulated Incident in Flight. After attending a SIV Maneuvers Clinic, most pilots have made remarks that an SIV clinic should be a mandatory course in obtaining a P3 Rating. Although that may be asking for a lot, a SIV clinic gives pilots a new awareness of their wing. Participating in a Point of the Mountain Paragliding SIV Clinic will increase a pilot’s confidence and open a new dimension of flying a paraglider.

Maneuvers conducted at a Maneuvers Clinic may include the following:

• Assymetric Tucks
• Full Frontal Tucks
• B Line Stalls
• Spirals
• Pitch Control (dolphining)
• Full Stalls
• Spins
• Wingovers
• Acro
