Certification

The EPSILON 10 DLS has EN/LTF B certification. The test reports can be downloaded from www.advance.swiss.

Certification ratings can only provide limited information about a paraglider’s flying behaviour in thermally active and turbulent air. The certification grading is based primarily on induced extreme flight manoeuvres in calm air.

During the development of an ADVANCE paraglider, the emphasis is first and foremost on flying behaviour and handling, and not exclusively on the certification test. The result is a well-rounded product with the familiar ADVANCE handling. Nevertheless, the certification rating occupies a significant proportion of the specifications that have to be met.

Light sport aircraft

The EPSILON 10 DLS belongs to the “Light sport aircraft” category with an empty weight of less than 120 kg.
