The ADVANCE COCKPIT Standard is a well‑balanced front container and instrument panel designed for cross‑country and recreational pilots who want a clean, centralized place for their flight instruments, camera and essentials.
Developed by Swiss brand ADVANCE, this cockpit combines compact dimensions with a large, clearly visible instrument surface. Vario, GPS, phone or small tablet can be mounted in the pilot’s field of view, improving readability and reducing distraction in active air.
Ergonomic front container concept
The COCKPIT Standard is shaped to sit stably on the lap or on the leg‑cover of compatible harnesses. A carefully angled upper panel keeps screens easy to read in bright sunlight, while internal stiffening prevents the deck from bending under heavier instruments. The integrated front container offers space for small items such as gloves, power bank, snacks or a lightweight safety kit, helping to keep side pockets uncluttered.
Smart details for everyday flying
Attention to detail is central to this accessory. Secure closure systems protect contents from accidental opening in turbulence, while well‑placed attachment points allow the cockpit to be fixed to the harness so it remains stable during take‑off, flight and landing. Many pilots particularly appreciate being able to leave their instruments wired and ready on the panel between flights, which speeds up preparation on launch.
Compatibility and use cases
The ADVANCE COCKPIT Standard is compatible with a wide range of modern paragliding harnesses, especially those oriented towards XC and hike‑&-fly. It is an ideal upgrade for pilots whose harness has no integrated front container, or whose built‑in panel is too small for today’s larger flight instruments.
Designed for real flying conditions
Robust outer fabric protects the cockpit against abrasion from buckles, rocks and frequent packing. The layout makes it easy to route charging cables or headphone leads, while the compact volume keeps the pilot’s view of the terrain and wing unobstructed. Whether you are thermalling locally or on a long cross‑country, the cockpit keeps information and accessories accessible and orderly.
