🛠️ Nova Prion 5 Key Features
🛡️ Best-in-Class Safety
The Prion 5’s most important quality is its exceptional passive safety. Certified EN-A, this glider forgives pilot errors, recovers quickly from disturbances, and provides a stable canopy even in turbulent conditions—making it ideal for student environments.
🎓 Designed for Training
Thanks to its forgiving launch behavior, the Prion 5 is a flight school favorite. Instructors will appreciate how quickly it rises overhead, holds position, and resists surges—even when students apply uneven pressure or brake inputs.
🎯 Predictable, Responsive Handling
Unlike earlier beginner gliders that felt “too dampened,” the Prion 5 keeps things engaging. Brake inputs translate into clean, predictable turns, and students learn proper glider control while still operating inside a safe envelope.

🌬️ Launch, Flight, and Landing
🚀 Take-Off
Launching the Prion 5 is almost automatic. Even in nil wind, it rises evenly, centers itself, and stays balanced above the pilot. Students feel confident from their very first ground handling session.
✈️ Flight
In the air, the Prion 5 delivers a smooth, pitch-stable ride with just the right amount of brake pressure. It encourages good technique while tolerating minor mistakes, making it excellent for building muscle memory and wing control.
🛬 Landing
Brake travel is progressive and long, allowing for gentle flares. Even if a student misjudges the timing, the Prion 5 offers a wide margin of error for safe landings.
