ActiveFly-Simulator positiv bewertet

Auf der jährlichen Sitzung des europäischen Kommitees für Training und Sicherheit (ESTC) der EHPU (European Hang Gliding and Paragliding Union) am 25.7.2009 in der Tschechischen Republik führte Ulrich Rüger die neueste Version seines ActiveFly-Simulators vor. Alle anwesenden Ausbildungs- und Sicherheitsreferenten der nationalen Verbände, u.a. aus Deutschland (DHV), der Schweiz (SHV/FSVL), Italien (FIVL), Frankreich (FFVL), Großbritanien (BHPA) und der Tschechische Republik (LAA), waren davon überzeugt, dass der Simulator extrem realistisch ist. Hier die Original-Stellungnahme des Kommitees:

"Ulrich Rueger of ActiveFly demonstrated the updated version of his Paragliding Flight Simulator. This equipment is intended to enable students to experience flight when entering and leaving thermals. The programme gives the pilot a panoramic view simulating flight in a mountainous region. The harness in which the student is seated pitches backwards, forwards and sideways in synchronisation with the picture movement he sees in front of him, and at the same time the pilot experiences realistic forces on the control handles. This simulates the movement of the glider above the pilot’s head. By using the control handles correctly he can quickly learn to control the direction of the glider, and "dampen" the simulated oscillation. All this in the safety of the classroom. The general view of the Committee was that this simulator is extremely realistic and a useful and practical tool for teaching students the canopy control skills required when flying in thermic conditions, without exposing them to the associated dangers."
