🛡️ Safety Guide for Flying the BGD BREEZE
Prioritize Safety, Maximize Enjoyment
Because paragliding is an adventure sport that blends nature and flight, safety must always come first. The BGD BREEZE was crafted with inherent stability and passive safety in mind. However, even with a highly forgiving wing, responsible flying habits remain essential.
Below is your comprehensive safety guide tailored specifically for BREEZE pilots—whether you’re fresh from flight school or returning to the skies after time away.
1. Pre-Flight Checklist – Don’t Skip a Step
Before launching, you should always perform a full pre-flight inspection. Even though the BREEZE is built with high-quality Porcher fabric and durable lines, routine checks protect you from unexpected issues.
✅ Inspect the Following Before Every Flight:
-
Lines and Risers – Check for tangles, knots, and wear
-
Canopy – Ensure no rips, damage, or material fatigue
-
Harness Connections – Confirm secure carabiner locks
-
Reserve Parachute Handle – Make sure it’s visible and accessible
-
Wing Layout – Spread the glider completely to avoid asymmetric inflation
-
Wind Conditions – Analyze direction, strength, and gust patterns
Because thorough preparation helps you fly with confidence, make this checklist part of your ritual every time.
2. Launch Safety – Calm, Controlled, Clear
The BGD BREEZE has excellent inflation characteristics, making launch safer in both nil-wind and moderate breeze conditions. However, even the best glider requires thoughtful technique.
✅ Follow These Launch Best Practices:
-
Face into the wind with a symmetrical layout
-
Use gentle yet firm pressure on the risers—let the wing rise on its own
-
Check overhead alignment before stepping off
-
Abort if unstable—never rush into takeoff
Because clean launches lead to clean flights, take the time to correct anything that feels off.
3. In-Flight Awareness – Stay Focused, Stay Safe
While in the air, the BGD BREEZE offers excellent feedback without overwhelming the pilot. Still, active piloting techniques should be developed early, especially in thermic or variable conditions.

-
Avoid low turns that reduce altitude margins
-
Flare gradually with progressive braking—don’t slam
-
Use smooth input to prevent last-minute oscillations
-
Land in clear, open spaces away from wires, trees, or crowds
Because every successful flight ends with a safe landing, never get complacent—even when the field looks familiar.
5. Weather Awareness – Read the Sky
Though the BREEZE is forgiving in active air, understanding your environment remains essential. Flying into thermic turbulence or changing wind patterns without preparation can put any pilot at risk.
✅ Respect These Weather Considerations:
-
Check forecasts before heading out—monitor updates during flight
-
Watch cloud development—cumulus buildup signals strong lift
-
Avoid midday turbulence if you’re early in your progression
-
Never launch in gust fronts or rapidly shifting winds
Because conditions shift quickly, being weather-wise makes you a safer, more adaptive pilot.
6. Gear Maintenance – Your Life Depends on It
Even the most stable wing can’t save you from worn lines or a neglected harness. The BGD BREEZE is durable, but all gear needs care.
✅ Keep Your Equipment in Top Condition:
-

It is very reassuring in turbulent air, thanks to its excellent pitch stability and low surge tendency. The all-important pilot feedback is there, and the BREEZE has BGD’s characteristic progressive stability: all our gliders have a very stable, solid centres with progressively softer tips; this means the tips warn about turbulence first, so the pilot can predict and avoid deflations and stay aware of the air.bgd seed for sale
The BREEZE will make you feel good in the air, and ready to tackle your most ambitious objectives. It’s a natural step up from a low-B like the ECHO 2 – you’ll notice the performance gains, but won’t be overwhelmed with extra workload. So what’s stopping you? Get planning some vol-biv adventures, pack a BREEZE and ride the wind!

Target
A lightweight EN-B, the BREEZE is a safe and performant glider for intermediate pilots with a love of hiking and adventure. It has all the design features, glide and stability advantages of the BASE 3, in a 25% lighter package, weighing just 3.3kg in the XS.
Designer’s notes of BGD BREEZE Paraglider
Weighing 3.3kg to 3.9kg across the four sizes, the BREEZE is significantly lighter than the BASE 3. We used Porcher Skytex 27 cloth on both top and bottom surfaces, chosen for its light weight and proven longevity. 32g/m2 cloth on the leading edge adds durability in high-wear areas.
It is a 2.5-liner design: 3 line levels in the centre, two at the tips. The advantages of this are reduced line drag compared to a 3-liner, further emphasised by the choice of unsheathed Edelrid Magix Pro Dry lines. It also has a really nice two-liner feel when using the B/C steering.
The BREEZE has BGD Performance Project traits of a high arc, short lines, tapered shape and raked wingtips. Together these increase performance without compromising safety. It has the same excellent slow-speed behaviour as the BASE 3, which makes it a breeze (pun intended!) to top-land. The winglets ensure easy exit from a spiral dive.
