Flying the APAX evo
The flight practice for motorized operation and free flying is identical in many respects.
Therefore, they are considered together in this manual. Differences and special features are
indicated either directly or in the description of the respective operating mode.
Fresh Breeze cannot ensure that the flight behavior described in this chapter is accurate to
all engines used with the APAX evo. The compatibility of a new combination must therefore
be confirmed by a test flight by an accredited K-pilot. Compatibility flights can be requested
by the manufacturer of the engine or in the form of a single sample test by the pilot himself at
a testing house.
Preparation for launch
Follow a consistent routine every time you fly. This is very important for safety. We
recommend the following procedure:
Material check
Check the following condition of your paraglider and other flying equipment before every
flight:
●
Is the glider fabric free from tears or other damage?
●
Are the lines free from knots, tangles or other damage?
●
Brake lines freely and firmly connected to the handle?
●
Correct adjustment of the brake lines length?
●
Are the maillons connecting the lines and risers closed and secured?
●
Is the glider dry?
●
Are the risers and seams in good condition?
●
Is your harness in good condition?
●
Is your rescue handle secure and rescue pin in?
Pre-flight check
A careful pre-flight check is required for any type of aircraft. Make sure that you exercise the
same level of care each time carry out the check.
●
Once you have arrived at the take-off, you should first take a look at the conditions:
observe wind speed and wind direction, airspace, turbulence and thermal cycles.
●
Check your
engine, paraglider, harness, rescue handle and pin, helmet and other
equipment.
●
Carry out the preflight control check of the engine.
●
Choose a wide starting place, as uniform as possible and free from obstacles.
●
Put on your harness and be sure to close the leg straps! Then put on your helmet.
●
Place the paraglider in a curved shape and sort the lines.
●
Connect the riser to the harness carabiners. Make sure that the carabiners are closed
and that nothing is twisted.
●
Connect the speed system of the riser and harness with the Brummel hooks.
