Overhead lines and how to recognise them
I already explained in an article three years ago that overhead power lines harbour particular dangers for us paraglider pilots. In this article, I would like to go into detail about the construction and route of overhead power lines so that you are able to recognise them from the air and include them in your planning before the flight.
Paraglider check at the Checkerei
The paraglider must be checked after 2 years or a certain number of flying hours. Michaela Michi Brandstätter, owner of "Die Checkerei", explained to me the steps that need to be taken, the things that need special attention and tips and tricks on how to treat your paraglider with care.

Paragliding know how with ChatGPT
I use AI in my blog to translate German texts into English. This works quite well for the most part, but sometimes the meaning of the text is not recognised and translated incorrectly. Could AI answer my questions about paragliding in the various disciplines? Would it be conceivable to dispense with the knowledge in forums, YouTube, blogs, fellow pilots, books etc. and rely solely on text-based AI à la ChatGPT? I have asked one question from various category and checked ChatGPT's answer for accuracy.
