Quality
When discussing quality in paragliding, often the focus is on externally
visible issues: seams, fabric or symmetry. These are all important indi-
cators for us too, but at NOVA we feel the term quality encompasses
more.
Quality means a cycle of processes which begins with the right idea
and ends in comprehensive customer service. In between lies respon-
sible development and testing; serial production with routine inspecti-
on and a network of responsible dealers and approved service centres.
We don't just want to offer you a good wing - we want to give you the
right one. Our highest priority is earning and maintaining the long-term
trust of our customers. We equate quality with the satisfaction of our
customers. If we matched your expectations, then we have provided a
quality service.

Flying and nature

On the one hand, flying means experiencing a particular form of free-
dom. On the other, there is a requirement to follow laws and ethical
groundrules. Please show respect to your fellow pilots, but also consi-
der the interests of landowners (both take-off and landing), air law and
your impact on the environment.
For the sake of our sport and our environment, we ask you to under-
take paragliding in an environmentally-friendly way. As well as obvious
issues like not littering, it is also important to avoid scaring animals like
birds of prey or deer by flying too close to them. Especially in winter,
this stress can be life-threatening to animals.
Being considerate to the needs of animals is your contribution to the
preservation of their habitat. At the same time, respectful behaviour
also avoids conflict with other interest groups like landowners, whose
income is reliant on healthy numbers of wild and domesticated ani-
mals.
