Progression paragliders (high EN-A and EN-B)

Progression paragliders are the wings you fly after your school wing. They keep a high level of passive safety but add more glide, speed and responsiveness, so you can learn to thermal, soar and start flying cross-country. Most are high-end EN-A or entry-level EN-B gliders.

Who should fly a progression paraglider?

• Pilots who have finished their training and fly independently
• Pilots feeling the limits of their beginner wing
• Recreational pilots who want comfort and safety with more performance

EN-A or EN-B?

High EN-A wings are the most forgiving way to progress – ideal if you fly less than about 50 hours a year. Entry-level EN-B wings offer more performance and feedback and suit pilots who fly regularly and have some thermal experience. Be honest about your airtime and currency – choosing a wing that's too demanding slows your progress.
