16.1. Line names

All lines in Independence paragliders are named according to the same scheme. 
When ordering replacement lines, please always determine the designation according to the following 
explanation and order it stating the type and size of glider!

The first digit indicates the line level (A, B, C, D; K = brake). The numbering starts from the centre of the glider at 
1 and continues to the stabilizer. 

Top lines (upper level) are marked with the level and the number starting from the centre of the glider. Example: 
A 5 = the 5th A-line from the middle of the glider (for Airtaxi² M: 100 cm)

The stabilizer upper line has the additional designation "e". Example: B20E = B-Stabilizer line at the top of the 
canopy (Airtaxi² M: 51 cm).

Middle lines (middle level) get the designation "M". Example: CM4 = 4th middle line from the centre of the glider 
on the C-plane (for Airtaxi² M: 195 cm)

The main lines have the additional wording 'R'. Example: AR2 = 2nd A main line from the centre of the canopy 
(Airtaxi² M: 530 cm)
