Dear Randi and Alain:
One month has passed and we hope you have defrosted from the Igloo...
Happy Spring

Hi Vola0r
Thanks for reply. The stable rescue is EN certified. The rescues Air Turquoise have tested and certified are very much alike. En certification we testing the opening time (<5s), stabilization (must reduce over 100 m) and sink rate (<-5.5 m/s).

click on "ALL reports" and "Emergency parachutes"

Hi, Randy

¡amazing!
Please, could you give a bit more of info about the stable rescue?
I heard rumours that it was designed by DL, for a new swiss company called XDF.
Is that right?
Thanks for teh video!

the goggle is so great. i would love to have it. would you please send it to me?

Thanks Sparky. I haven't seen the "following up" article. And yes we were a bit surprised they mentioned these associations for the decision taken. It is clearer now. However, we have spoke with several manufacturers, and they don't agree as well to wait until 2015 for the comp class.

There was a bit of a fail in that CIVL article that isn't obvious unless you read this later follow-up: http://www.fai.org/civl-news/37010-follow-up-new-competition-class

And happy New year to you

Happy New Year

Both rescues are certified. One is EN certified and the other is LTF certifed. And both rescues were flown in maximum weight.

Yes, I would prefered the stable rescue chute.

What do you think!? Stable!!!!!

hello,
thanks for this open note, and more generally for your involvement in improving the security of our sport.
You point D suggests that rumours are not just rumours, but it's easily understandable.

Last, I haven't seen anywhere an update on Alain's recovery.
Hope is doing fine.
cheers

Hi Charles,
Thanks for your response.
I hope I haven't right, but I think for the future we will see a changing in the sport not for the better. The 2-risers gliders came into EN standard too fast, it wasn't ready for that. This will have effect of the other classes. We will probably soon see a 2-risers in a C-class.
I am not sure if it is only me, but I could see a changing in flying style in the transition from a 4-risers to 3-risers glider. For example the last years here in Switzerland we saw more spiral-accidents. I cannot claim if this is cause of a 3-risers evolution, but it makes me think about. And then, what will be changed of flying style when these 2-risers arriving for an average pilots? I know it is only speculations, but I can't help to be concerned. And as I said, I hope I haven't right.

Hi Randi

Thanks for posting this blog. As a national saftey officer I share a lot of the concerns raised here and in the DHV EN A & B report and have often voiced them to our NAC to no avail. Everytime I deal with a death it eats another bit of me away.

Good luck with your flying.

Happy New Year too, even if it's quite late :-)

Happy New Year!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Hi,
Thank you for your encouraging report on this mountain.
