3. Certification
All sizes of the Golden4 are certified EN B and LTF B.
The certification certificate on your Golden4 is found on a rib in the middle of the canopy.
Certification is valid for ABS type harnesses. This type of harness allows a certain degree
of adjustment to be made to the length of the chest strap. The recommended distance
between the karabiners is 46 cm to 49 cm.
In common with all other paragliders, when looser cross-bracing is used while flying the
Golden4, the pilot’s weight-shift control is greater. The glider is also more sensitive to
movement in the surrounding air. When cross-bracing is tighter, the pilot feels subjectively
more stable, but turning by weight-shift is practically ineffectual.
