Pilot target group
Many years of flying, designing and competing have convinced us that a pilot who is
comfortable flying a glider, will fly more, have more fun and achieve more in cross-country
flying and in competition …
Pilots who are looking for the maximum performance in the LTF/EN C class with no
compromise in passive safety or agility and who rightly demand precise handling will feel
totally at home with the VOLT.
The handling characteristics of the VOLT combined with the evidence from the test
manoeuvres show us that high performance can be manageable and recoverable. VOLT is not a
‘high-end’ LFT/EN C glider. It’s simply a ‘perfect’ sports class glider – suitable for improving
pilots moving up into the Sports class as well as those who maybe unsure about the latest
LFT/EN D gliders.
All pilots flying in this class should be flying regularly and be experienced in ‘active-flying’ in all
conditions.
LTF and EN category
The AirDesign VOLT has been classified as EN-C and LTF-C.
The glider has been type-tested for
“one-seated” use only.
Suitability for training
The AIRDESIGN VOLT is NOT suitable for training or use in the school environment.
Recommended weight range
The VOLT must only be flown within the certified weight range as stated in the technical data
under section 3. The take-off weight includes pilot plus clothing, glider, harness, equipment
etc.
The VOLT reacts to a variation in loading with a slight reduction or increase of trim-speed. The
performance remains more or less the same.
