| Dec 13/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 30 | 6254 | 104.23 | I have tested the instrument panel and helmet. Pulled some spirals. Chris tried my equipment. Cloudy misty day. |
| Nov 26/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 20 | 6224 | 103.73 | I have tested the anti torque trim and the auxiliary gas tank set up yesterday and it worked like a charm. Because of the torque trim I can now literally read a book if flying long distance - in calm weather of course. The gas supply is 30 l - that is up to 6 hours of flight time without refueling. Twice 10 min + multiple takeoffs and landings to demonstrate for John Prentice. |
| Nov 11/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 60 | 6204 | 103.40 | Bumpy and windy 50 min XC flight on Simon RR with James Barnett. 10 min of takeoffs and landings. |
| Nov 7/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 90 | 6144 | 102.40 | Cold flight on Simon RR from SR to Brock University and back. Very cold but nice and smooth thermals so the last 15 km was completed motor off. |
| Oct 31/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 70 | 6054 | 100.90 | 60 min cold flight on Simon RR. And 10 min with GPS measuring climb, glide ratio, minimum sink. |

| Oct 17/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 30 | 5879 | 97.98 | Demo 10 flight for Ty and Mac - the hosts of "Mission Adventure Show" on CTV. The wind was perfect so Mac got to the air in little under 3 hours of ground handling. I had cold 25 min flight on RR. Congrats Mac on your first flight. |
| Oct 10/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 10 | 5849 | 97.48 | Demo flight for Errol. The wind was doing "funky chicken" so I screwed up the first two take-offs and only by luck did not lose any lines. Not very good example for my student. The first landing was not so great either. Luckily I was able to demonstrate several perfect take-offs and landings and later on Errol got his first flight in - congratulation Errol! |
| Oct 8/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 60 | 5839 | 97.32 | 30 min on Spider early in the morning - a commercial jet spooked me up close to cloud base. It was still probably 1 km above me but little too close that I liked. It took 5 tries to get airborne - forward inflations are such a slavery. Then 30 min on RR early afternoon. Very bumpy therefore not so good flight. Turned HI screw 1/8 counter clockwise to see if there is increase in power for future tandem flights. |
| Sep 28/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 20 | 5779 | 96.32 | Many take offs and landings to demonstrate for Ed and Linda. ALSO FIRST 10 MIN TANDEM FLIGHT WITH CHRIS ON SKY PARAGLIDERS GOLEM AND SIMON RR!!! |

| Sep 17/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 80 | 5619 | 93.65 | Flight to Welland pretty much at night. Saw helicopter about 5 km away that sort of made me uneasy as I could see it but it could not see me. |
| Sep 16/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 115 | 5539 | 92.32 | Two flights. 35 min flying great thermals and 80 min flight that ended at dusk by descending from 4000ft with motor off…..very nice |
| Sep 12/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 105 | 5424 | 90.40 | Flight to L. Erie, Crystal beach and back to SR. There were some EXTREMELY violent thermals at the landing field. I had asymmetric collapse at 300 ft and 1/3 asymmetric collapse at 50 ft going for landing. In both cases glider recovered without any problems. It was a little scary. |
| Sep 8/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 10 | 5319 | 88.65 | Short demo flight for Mike Johnson. Multiple take offs and landings. |
| Sep 5/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 65 | 5309 | 88.48 | 2 flights. With Chris Miller in the air. We took off in mid day and it was quite bumpy. Chris had minor collapse and could not into the seat. My flights were good yet uneventful. |

| Aug 25/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 165 | 4974 | 82.90 | Two flights. Thermal one for SR to lake Erie and back. The second was an evening one to the train tracks take off hill, to Roy's house and then to model field place for touch and go and of course back to SR. I have finished this flight with climb to 6 000 ft and then shutting the engine off and gliding back to land. |

| May 28/02 | Powered paraglider | C-IGVV | Pilot | VFR | 60 | 4474 | 74.57 | By my self. Again one of the best flights ever. Smooth, clear, gentle thermals. After landing Joe - the owner of the field took me up for ride in his full size state of the art helicopter. It is Eurocopter - Model Colibri. It kicks ass - I started to save… |
