Playing with paraglider spot landings in good lift.

Filmed by Jason, one of our local PPL TI's, Murray on G-BYLI playing about with spot landing in good lift, main Fife top drivable training site. Precision Paragliding providing an alternative to the BHPA since the late 90's for BHPA & ex-BHPA pilots wishing to RE-train or new pilot entering the sport who do NOT wish to risk the standards/accident rates produced by 'normal' PG theory, practices & procedures!

very stupid? I happen to have been around Paragliding Accuracy since I was 2 and be a member of The Accuracy panel. Yes, occasionally in a competiion there are a lack of DC's- But, I know of pilots who hit the pad on almost every flight. And the french in Classic accuracy are ones for hitting the pad within about 4 cm on every flight- I know what I'm talking about with Accuracy- I'm not stupid in the slightest. Have you ever seen any of the UK accuracy squad in action?- I think not.

Jade if you CHOOSE to make stupid comments you should not be surprised to have that pointed out to you, as an example IF pilotS (i.e. multi) were commonly 'hitting' on "almost every flight" it is reasonable to presume that that would be started in the news (Skywings etc.) the fact is that in many reports it STATES THAT THERE WERE VERY FEW (OR NONE) 'DC' SCORED...

I've seen plenty of evidence (photos/video) as to the very low (in comparison) standards for bhpa 'experts' regarding 'accuracy'!

[murrayhay]

Unlike the average bhpa 'accuracy' pilot, I'm well known for being able to 'nail' landings on ANY wing (i.e. one that I've never flown before....) and often demo Spot Landing a RE-training students own wing coming down from many 100's of feet AGL while holding in a 50%+ assymmetric fold in the wing!

The common conclusion from RE-training PG'ers is that I can fly better/more precise HALF (or less) a Paraglider.... than the 'best' bhpa accuracy pilot can manage on the whole of their normal wing!

Spot landings? Look at some Paragliding Accuracy videos and you'll see some good spot landings.

[murrayhay]

Jade, yet another VERY Stupid comment from you... in international comps (Accuracy) it's not that uncommon for there to be few (or even no!) 'DC' scores...

In general the standard of BHPA 'Accuracy experts' is WELL Below that I aim to see in my students!

In most flying conditions I expect to be able to 'spot' HAVING STATED WHICH TOE I WILL USE.. to within 1cm of the named target (normaly the top of a fence post/stone/other defined point, I expect to be able to do that AT LEAST 90% of the time

Excellent piece of flying Murray. Perfect control.

Merry Xmas

Wait for comments from White Puding Supper 0308. The big slag as he is also known.

Hi iftyshifty

I looked him up, (Paul H) not a name I knew of :-)

[iftyshifty]

@iftyshifty Sorry Murray I meant like Paul Hamilton(PH) LOL. A training video made by you based on physics etc would very interesting to watch and a good seller I think.

[murrayhay]

Hi iftyshifty who/what is 'PH'?

[iftyshifty]

@murrayhay How about you make a DVD like PH and show your methods of flying. I'll buy one for sure. Just a thought.

is it cool.
