Metacognition: Paragliding's Hidden Psychology with Beni Kalin & Heli Schrempf
Paragliding Atlas by Aninder SinghShow Notes
I promise one thing when you press play for this episode! And that is, that it doesn't matter whether you've been flying for 50 hours or 500 hours, this episode can and will change how you think about your flying.
For a while I've wanted to brainstorm with two of the finest minds when it comes to teaching in our sport, this made me reach out to longtime friends and former guests Heli & Beni where we managed to have an in depth talk on what healthy progression in flying actually looks like.
We answer questions like: Why most pilots skip steps- How not to progress too fast Why "going with the collapse" saves you from twists (and why your harness might be blocking you) The truth about active flying: release tension, don't block Asymmetric collapse management: when to brake, when to wait Why pilots freeze instead of throwing their reserve (loss aversion, adrenaline) Fear injury: how one scare can live in your brain for 10+ years The Dunning Kruger effect in paragliding: peak of ignorance → valley of despair → true expertise Half-face vs. full-face helmets: is peripheral vision worth the risk? Why instructors need to explain the "why" not just say "don't do it" Parakiting vs. paragliding: different flight envelopes, different control The "Killing Zone" why 50-200 hour pilots are most at risk
