The Skytraxx 5 is a GPS variometer for paraglider and hang glider pilots, specially designed for thermal and cross-country flying. It combines precise climb/sink values with integrated thermal navigation, airspace warning, and XC tracking.

When paragliding, the focus is often on the wing, the weather, and flying technique. The harness, on the other hand, is usually seen as a comfort factor—as a seat, storage space, and protector. But this view is too narrow. In reality, the harness is a central control and perception element that significantly influences how you fly, how you react, and how safe you are on the move.

Stress management Paragliding is essential because, especially in the air, calmness and focus are crucial for safety and enjoyment. Mental stressors such as fear of flying, uncertainty, or feeling overwhelmed can impair the experience or even become dangerous. With targeted mental training, pilots can learn to effectively reduce stress and better control themselves in stressful situations. In this article, we present seven proven mental training methods that have been specially developed for paragliders to create inner clarity, reduce fears, and improve the flying experience in the long term.

Enjoy your training...
