Operating limits:

APOLLO 2 light is a very strong paraglider and flying all the usual
SIV manoeuvres will not normally pose a structural problem.
However, frequent extreme manoevers training can accelerate
the ageing process dramatically, and Sky recommends having
wings that are often used for SIV-type manoeuvres subjected to
checkups at shorter intervals than normally stipulated.
Biplace and PPG:
APOLLO 2 light is for solo pilot use only.
APOLLO 2 light is not built for powered paragliding (PPG).
Purpose According to LTF 91/09:
APOLLO 2 light is an air sport vehicle (class paraglider) with an
empty weight of less than 120 kg.

of this class and is not suitable for basic training or as a first
wing. It is aimed at pilots who perform long cross country flights
and who have experience and regular practice (min. 50 hours
thermic flights plus 30 hours / year).
APOLLO 2 light includes all our very latest innovative details
and features that combine and add up to make real class
leading and cutting edge differences that performance minded
pilots desire.
APOLLO 2 light is for pilots who fly frequently and that have the
skill level to match the high performance of this wing.
We seriously believe that true performance comes from the
right match of pilot and wing.
In the right hands, this wing will produce an incredible in flight
experience and many km's of rewarding cross-country distance
whilst leading the pack.
Importantly, APOLLO 2 light retains the sublime handling that
our Sky gliders have become well known for, whilst using only
technologies and design that add genuine advancements to the
in-flight experience for the pilot.
APOLLO 2 light design still manages to offer the pilot an
extremely good ratio of performance to safety at the top end of
the EN B category.
