Pi3 Paraglider
Advance is one of the most respected names in paragliding and the Pi3 represents their approach to the intermediate EN-B market. The Pi3 uses Advance's DLS (Direct Line Setup) technology which reduces the number of lines and minimizes line drag — the result is a measurably improved glide ratio compared to conventional line setups. For cross-country flying, that extra glide translates directly into more distance covered and more landing options in marginal conditions. The handling is characteristically Swiss — precise, refined, and confidence-inspiring. Advance invests heavily in research and their passive safety testing, and the Pi3 reflects that commitment. It's a wing that performs at a high level while remaining manageable for a skilled intermediate pilot. I carry the Pi3 at FlyWithJordan because Advance's reputation for quality and safety aligns with what I want for my students. If you're looking for a performance-oriented EN-B with real technology behind it, the Pi3 deserves a close look.
