The APCO Vista VI is APCO’s middle B-class (EN-B) paraglider for talented beginners and pilots who want to step up to the B category with a calm, safe and easy wing. According to APCO, the first Vista (2014) was the first true 3-liner in the EN-B class; the Vista VI is the sixth generation.
The wing is a true 3-liner across the whole span down to the risers, with sheathed bottom lines connected to unsheathed middle and top lines, mini ribs (MRB) at the trailing edge, 3D cuts on top and bottom surface and trailing edge brake tensioners. According to APCO, best glide is reached at one third of the speed bar.
Two riser types are offered: C-steering risers for active flying on the speed bar, recommended for pilots stepping up from an A wing, and standard 3-line risers (99 g, 12 mm Kevlar-polyester webbing with APCO V-links). Without a choice at ordering, the wing is supplied with the standard risers.
With paramotor risers including trimmers, the Vista VI is also a paramotor wing; APCO describes it as suitable for electric and low-power engines. With the trimmers closed, the flight characteristics remain within the certification; with the trimmers open, APCO completed the test procedure in house.

Characteristics

| Take-off | The APP profile with lighter materials provides an easy, balanced inflation; the wing rises easily and controllably overhead. |
| Landing | Simple, predictable approach and flare to a standstill. |
| Thermalling | The wing settles easily into a constant bank angle in a thermal and needs little input once centred. |
| Performance | Best glide is achieved at one-third speed bar; the APP profile keeps the wing pressurised across the speed range. |
| Pilot feedback | The wing is described as easy to understand, reassuring and precise in pilot feedback. |
| Construction | The double-siliconized top surface and lighter bottom and internal materials save weight without compromising durability. |
