Perform spiral dives with big ears or asymmetric collapses. The high G loading on fewer lines could overload
and break the lines.
Test flight and Warranty
All information about the BGD warranty can be found on the Warranty page of our website. In order to benefit from it,
you
must complete the warranty registration form
on
(find it in the Help menu).
It is your dealer´s responsibility to test fly the paraglider before you receive it, to check the trim settings are correct.
The waranty may be void if the test flight has not been completed by the dealer.
Weight Range
Each wing size is certified for a certain weight range. The weight refers to the ‘overall take-off weight’. This means the
weight of the pilot, the glider, the harness and all other equipment carried in flight.
The ANDA has an extended weight range.
This means it can be flown at a higher wing loading than “standard”,
useful if you want to carry extra equipment to camp in the mountains etc. It is certified EN/LTF A in the standard and
extended weight ranges with the inherent safety this implies, but it will have slightly different flight characteristics:
In the standard weight range
you will have a good sink rate and thermalling ability, turns will be easy and predictable
with the ability to float and turn flat in weak conditions.
In the extended weight range
the wing loading is higher so the glider will be faster and more dynamic. Handling will
be more reactive and it will be hard to stay up in weak conditions. This is typically used for mountain descents or
soaring in higher winds.
