Why SIV?

Meet Your Wing's Limits in a Controlled Environment

SIV (Simulation d'Incident en Vol) means simulating in-flight incidents in a safe environment. Situations you may one day face in turbulent air, such as collapse, stall and spin, are experienced deliberately over water, under instructor guidance, so your reactions become automatic.

Safety Margin

Practice over water helps pilots recognize collapse behavior and apply recovery procedures under instructor guidance.

Active Piloting

You practice recognizing the wing's pitch and roll movements and damping them with brake timing and weight shift.

Reserve Practice

Reserve deployment decisions and techniques are practiced on the ground and, when included in the program, over water under instructor supervision.

The Location

Why Ölüdeniz?

Ölüdeniz (Fethiye) is one of the world's most established paragliding sites, and one of the best places on earth for SIV training.

High Takeoff, Long Working Altitude

Babadağ's 1700m takeoff directly over the sea gives you generous altitude for each maneuver: more attempts per flight, safer recovery windows.

Everything Over Water

All maneuvers are performed over the bay with rescue boat support. In the worst case, you land on water, not terrain.

Weather-dependent program

The flight program is adjusted according to weather, site conditions and the instructor's safety assessment.

Full Logistics

Takeoff transport, boat crew, radio equipment and video recording are all organized by MagicFly. You only focus on flying.

1700 Meters Above the Blue Lagoon

Every maneuver over turquoise water, every recovery with generous altitude; this is why pilots from all over the world come to Ölüdeniz for SIV.

5-Day Program

From Theory to Full Progression

Each day starts with theory and video analysis. The program includes at least 15 sorties over the bay, with maneuver progression tailored to each pilot's level and pace.

DAY1

Foundations & Wing Control

Collapse physics theory, safety briefing, reserve deployment dry practice. Flights: pitch/roll control, big ears, speed system, controlled 360° turns.

DAY2

Collapses

Asymmetric collapse theory and video analysis. Flights: 30% and 50% asymmetric collapses, directional control during collapse, light spiral entry and exit.

DAY3

Frontal Collapse, B-Stall & Spiral

Rapid descent techniques theory. Flights: frontal and accelerated frontal collapse, B-stall, deep stall recognition, controlled spiral dive.

DAY4

Stall & Spin

Stall types and entry-exit analysis, spin dynamics. Flights: full stall, backfly, stall recovery techniques, spin entry and exit, wingover.

DAY5

Advanced Recovery & Emergency

Emergency scenarios, autorotation, cravat clearing. Flights: SAT introduction, autorotation recovery, reserve deployment over water, water landing procedure. Closing video analysis and certificates.

Maneuver Progression

32-Maneuver Full Progression

Progression advances step by step from basic wing control to advanced recovery; each maneuver is unlocked only after the previous one is performed safely.

STAGE 1

Basic Wing Control

Pitch controlDamping the wing's fore-aft pendulum motion using brakes and weight shift.
Roll controlManaging the wing's left-right banking in balance through weight shift.
Big ears / Kulak kapatmaIncreasing descent rate by folding the wing tips while keeping directional control.
Speed bar / Hız sistemiAccelerating the wing with the speed system and practicing control at speed.
Controlled 360° turnsDeveloping directional command by losing altitude in steady, controlled full turns.
Light spiralEntering a low-G spiral and practicing a safe, smooth exit.
STAGE 2

Collapses & Descent Techniques

Asymmetric collapse (30%)Keeping direction and balance after a small portion of the wing collapses.
Asymmetric collapse (50%)Stabilizing the wing with opposite brake and weight shift in a larger collapse.
Collapse with directional controlMaintaining flight toward the target heading during a collapse.
Frontal collapseControlling the wing's reopening after the leading edge fully collapses.
Accelerated frontal collapseManaging sharper reactions in a frontal collapse during accelerated flight.
B-stallControlled vertical descent by pulling the B risers, with a safe exit.
Deep stall recognitionRecognizing and feeling the symptoms when the wing sinks vertically without forward speed.
Spiral diveControlled entry into a high-descent-rate spiral and a safe exit.
Pitch dampingStabilizing the wing by damping fore-aft oscillation with brake timing.
STAGE 3

Stall, Spin & Energy Management

Full stallBringing the wing to a full stall with full brakes and learning control.
Backfly (stall hold)Holding the wing's backward flight briefly under control after the stall.
Stall recoveryExiting the stall symmetrically and safely with correct brake release technique.
SpinInitiating a spin with a one-sided stall and recovering with counter technique.
WingoverEnergy management through wide oscillating turns with increasing roll.
Dynamic spiralManaging a higher-energy, higher-G spiral under control.
Energy managementControlling excessive pitch movements by using the wing's speed and energy correctly.
STAGE 4

Advanced Recovery & Emergency Procedures

SAT (introductory)A safe introductory-level entry to the acro maneuver where the wing rotates on the horizontal axis.
Cravat clearingMethods for clearing a cravat when cells get caught after a collapse.
Autorotation recoveryStopping the wing's rapid rotation and returning to stable flight.
Stable spiral recoveryRecovering a locked-in spiral safely with proper weight and brake input.
Deep stall recoveryRegaining airspeed and returning to forward flight from a deep stall.
Loss of control simulationExperiencing loss-of-control scenarios and developing the correct response.
Reserve dry practiceRepeating the reserve throw on the ground or in a hang for muscle memory.
Reserve deployment over waterPracticing a real reserve deployment over water to prepare for emergencies.
Post-reserve proceduresOrientation and landing preparation steps after the reserve opens.
Water landingCorrect body position and equipment release techniques for water landing.
