Congratulations on buying your
PICA 2
and welcome to the family of ICARO - pilots!
Before you get to know your glider please read the
manual, there is important information inside.
Your PICA 2 is pattern tested in A.
Therefore, the glider is
a “
paraglider with good
passive safety and forgiving flight characteristics. It is relatively resistant to
abnormal flight conditions. It is appropriable for all pilots including pilots of all
training levels.”
The flight maneuvers during the certification process should not be
overrated. Certification results provide only little information when you are
flying in thermically active and turbulent air because the glider classifications
serve to inform solely regarding the performance of a paraglider during
extreme flight maneuvers in stable air conditions.
The PICA 2 in the sizes S, M, ML and L are registered by the
Direction générale
de l'aviation civile
(DGAC) and can therefore be used as a motor-driven paraglider
(PPG). It may be only used for those purposes described in this manual.
It is strictly prohibited to fly the PICA 2
•
under the influence of drugs or alcohol,
•
in insufficient experience or training of pilots,
•
without guilty license,
•
beyond the minimum and maximum recommended Take Off- Weight,
•
with damaged glider, lines, risers or harness
•
in the rain, in snow, in the clouds and fog and in turbulent weather
conditions,
•
with motor drive (except size S, M, ML and L)
•
tandem- flying
and Aerobatics.
PICA 2 with the motorized risers may only be used for flights without motor if
the riser is attached to the lower attachment point, the trimmers are closed
and the straps A, A1, B and C are the same length
.
The trimmers may not be used to increase the speed in flight without motor,
otherwise the EN type test is no longer valid. Only the accelerator is to be
used for this.
If you cannot keep your glider under control, use the rescue system in good time.
Always pay attention to ground distance.
Our products are made with great care and state of the art. Each glider before it is
delivered to the dealer or flight school is checked by ICARO paragliders (incoming
test). This date is entered in the identification plate and as well guarantee as the
first 2-year-check period starts.
On that score an approved ICARO dealer or teacher at the flight school must
inflate a new ICARO paraglider in the wind or should carry out the first flight
before the wing is handed over to you. This date is entered in the
identification plate and as well warranty as the first 2-year-check period
