begins, if the basis is pushed before the head. When cranking in calm air
the basis is in a position for instance between chin and nose.

Thermalling
When cranking a 15° flap position worked satisfactorily by a high agility and a small minimum
airspeed. With spacious or torn thermionics is a smaller flap deflection with smaller roll agility of
advantage, since here best sinking is reached . With turbulent air position should be flown the
wing more easily with the appropriate, for the turbulence to be forced here there, passage flown
can with 5°.
At speeds over 65 km/h the sliding achievement with the 5° flap position is better than with
another flap position. Best sliding becomes with this flap position with approx. 50 - 55 m/h
reaches. Only off approx. the sliding achievement decreases 60 km/h somewhat, so that it
recommends itself not to fly when easy sinking more slowly.
•
Landing
For landing the flap should have deflected always fully, since here the smallest stable speed is
reached and the ATOS VX best „to express “leaves itself.
The adjustment of the glide path is to be obtained most simply also fully deflected flap under
variation of the airspeed. Particularly with the first landings it is advisable to bring and a long final
part fly the flap in over 50m height into the landing setting. The period for discharging is large. For
the indulgence of the wing tip edges it recommends to express itself however late and strongly, in
order to prevent way pastes.
Possible errors
: To fast approach in combination with large tax excursions and craving. Adjust
the flap deflection during the Landevolte without view to the focused set-up point.
To small airspeed when embracing at the tax handle. Is important, after embracing to be able to
pull not more highly than 1/3 of the tax handle length to seize over still sufficiently. After
embracing should be slipped with the hands not further as up to the tax handle center upward.
Absolutely seize carbon fiber trapezoid below the break section with the Airstream!
Importantly:
Around fold-hurry reliably to lock must the rope after stretching over the basis be
thrown in front, since it cannot separate in this position also with inadvertent course at the rope.
•
Best Glide
The ATOS VX will glide best with a flap position by 15°, since in this position the speed can be
better controlled than with smaller flap deflection. With this flap position can be also more slowly
flown than with smaller flap deflection. This affects with head wind favorably the releasing height
and facilitates the start. During the Schlepps is absolute on sufficient travel to respected (basis
approx. on addendum). Too slowly fly means power loss and
less security reserve!
•
More
Also with the UL drag should with zero wind because of the smaller stable speed with 15°Klappe
be started. Otherwise is rather a smaller flap position (5°) of advantage, since thereby the trim
speed can be adapted to the speed of the UL `s, and the directional stability of the ATOS
continues to increase still. Compared with a hanging glider it can occur rather that the basis must
be pressed also times , in order not to fly too fast.
Importantly: It must be absolutely avoided to fly more deeply than the UL since the ATOS
abnickt when flying into the descending wind of the UL' s very strongly!
General to drag

Rope tear can be landed also with flap in Startstellung well, there usually sufficiently
expenditure guidance distance present is. Absolutely first on it it respects that sufficiently
travel is present and remainder-hurry thrown off becomes.
