Interview: Was bedeuten die reaktivierten Low Flight Areas (LFA) für den zivilen Luftsport?

Müssen sich Gleitschirm- und Hängegleiterpiloten auf mehr militärischen Tiefflug einstellen? In diesem Interview spricht DHV-Mitarbeiter Michael Bender mit Lars Iwersen, Eurofighter-Pilot und Flugsicherheitsoffizier der Bundeswehr am Standort Neuburg/Bayern. Themen des Gesprächs: - Warum wurden die Low Flight Areas (LFA) wieder eingeführt? - Wie tief dürfen militärische Luftfahrzeuge dort tatsächlich fliegen? - Welche zeitlichen und organisatorischen Einschränkungen gelten? - Welche realistischen Auswirkungen gibt es für den Gleitschirm- und Hängegleiterflug? - Wie plant die Bundeswehr Tiefflugrouten? - Welche Rolle spielen NOTAMs, FIS, OGN und Live-Tracking? - Wie können wir gemeinsam dafür sorgen, dass gefährliche Annäherungen vermieden werden? - Wie gut sind Gleitschirme aus einem Eurofighter sichtbar? - Warum ist Tiefflug militärisch notwendig? Ziel des Gesprächs ist es, militärische und zivile Fliegerei näher zusammenzubringen und gegenseitiges Verständnis zu fördern. Transparenz und Kommunikation sind entscheidend für Sicherheit im gemeinsamen Luftraum.

Rolling on speed bar #paragliding

Pulling big ears on modern 2-liner wings is not that comfortable and also not really efficient. I prefer to fly some gentle rolling maneuvers to lose a bit of height. Have you tried it?

Some landings are more spicy than the others. I needed to fly a tight turn to give some space to another wing to the right, but got into unexpectedly sinking air, so nearly touched a tree.

Boom or Bust!

Throwback to Wednesday 6th August 2025 when a great forecast drew the crowds to Milk Hill in Wiltshire. Initially it was the usual bunfight on the hill, but once a little bit higher it was easier, and then BOOM, I climbed out in the strongest sustained climb I've ever experienced in the UK! Clip in and join me on another fabulous flight over the English flatlands on what was an interesting day with high cloud chasing us from the west...

Paragliding SIV Tutorial: Spin to backfly

Spin to backfly is my preferred exercise for introducing pilots to stalls for the first time. In my opinion, it allows for a more gradual progression and a more realistic and less intense exposure to how you may encounter a stall in the wild, compared to the classic SIV style "stall ball". The first part of spin to backfly starts with a simple quick spin, often called search for spin or spin appreciation. This in itself is a valuable drill for all pilots, even those who are not ready or do not want to do stalls. Visit beyondsiv.com to book a SIV/Acro course with me
