CERTIFICATION
The achievement of official certification is the final polish. The different certifications
are the last hurdle in the development of a skywalk paraglider. The test flights are ab-
solved only when the test team is completely happy with the glider. We point out that the
certification results provide little information when it comes to flying the glider in thermi-
cally active and turbulent air. The glider classifications serve to inform solely with regard
to the performance of a paraglider during extreme flight manoeuvers in stable air con-
ditions. The extreme flight maneuvers provoked during the certification process should
therefore be considered as individual factors in a complex interrelation and therefore
should not be overrated.
