WARNING:
The canopy speeds up after you release the B-risers until the
stream is around the glider. In this situation never pull the brake lines!
Do not do this manoeuvre at low temperatures. The full stall possibility is
much higher when the temperature is low.
* Never place your engine downwind of your sail, to avoid trouble due to possible
gusts.
* Check, check and check again that there is no fuel leakage.
* Do you have enough fuel? It is always better to have too much than too little!
* Make sure nothing is loose in the harness, which could come into contact with
the propeller during
flight.
* If you find any anomalies, IMMEDIATELY address the problem!
* Put on the helmet and fasten it systematically before you get into your harness.
* Make all your pre-flight checks before taking off.
* After landing, keep your wing facing in the direction of flight. If you don’t, you
risk the lines
coming into contact with the propeller.
* Do not ask for trouble - do not fly over water, between trees or power lines or
any other place where
an engine failure would put you in an emergency situation.
* Do not neglect turbulence caused by other gliders or even yourself, especially
when flying low.
* It is not reasonable to let go of the brakes below 100 meters, a possible
malfunction of your
paramotor may require an immediate steering response.
* Generally do not trust your engine, act as if it may fail at any time.
* Unless it is absolutely necessary (eg. to avoid a collision), do not make sharp
turns in the opposite
direction to the wind direction. Especially when climbing, you could easily cause
a collapse.
* Do not fly at low altitude with the wind behind you, this greatly limits your
options.
* Do not wait until a minor problem gets worse; any change in noise or vibration
can indicate the
presence of a potentially serious problem. Land and investigate.
* Be sure of your navigation.
* Remember that not everyone enjoys your engine noise. Do not scare the
livestock and wildlife.
