Why is Security in Flight a great video?

Security in flight has all the characteristics of an excellent teaching device:

1. Maneuvers are described thoroughly--initiation and recovery
2. Dynamic air-to-air footage provides the best view one can get of pilotage techniques.
3. All important maneuvers are shown and covered: big ears, B-line descents, symmetric and asymmetric tucks, spirals, spins, wingovers, stalls, cravats and reserve deployment.
4. All maneuvers are performed over water to show safe procedures.
5. Jocky Sanderson is one of the world's leading figures in S.I.V. flying and talks through his piloting.

By knowing the behavior of a paraglider during maneuvers, students will improve their level of comfort and safety. This video is a must for total understanding of how to handle a canopy. "Knowledge dispels fear."
