Competition paragliding to have a competition glider by 2014
http://www.xcmag.com/2012/02/civl-plenary-2012-civl-supports-new-competition-class-paraglider-initiative/
With this statement, CIVL is making it clear to pilots,
competition organisers and paraglider manufacturers its intended direction for
the next two years. For the present (2012 season), FAI Category 1 competitions
will remain restricted to EN-926 certified gliders. This decision is in line
with the recommendations made by other major bodies in the sport (PMA, EHPU,
PWCA and Test Houses). In light of the PMA announcement to set up a working group to develop a new
competition class, CIVL fully expects that by the next Plenary in 2013, it will
be in a position to consider approving the use of this new class in future
Category 1 championships, from 2014.
