RANGE OF USE
Towing
The Aravis may be tow-launched. It is the pilot’s responsibility to use suitable harness
attachments and release mechanisms and to ensure that they are correctly trained on the
equipment and system employed. All tow pilots should be qualified to tow, use a qualified
tow operator with proper, certified equipment, and make sure all towing regulations are
observed. When towing you must be certain that the paraglider is completely over your
head before you start. In each case, the maximum tow force needs to correspond to the all
up weight of the pilot.
WARNING!! Please always ensure that the brake lines are adjusted to the lengths
recommended here. Setting them shorter could lead to a tendency to stall during towed
flight. Apart from this, there are no special procedures.
Aerobatics
The Aravis was not developed or tested to be used for aerobatics (acro). By engaging in
such an activity, you voluntarily assume an increased risk of injury or death. Any type of
acrobatic manoeuvre at all on the Aravis is contrary to law and illegal. The pilot would be
putting his/her life at risk. Acrobatics involves a risk of unpredictable flight attitudes, which
could lead to damage to material and structural failure.
Tandem paragliding
The Aravis is not intended for tandem paragliding.
Paramotoring
The Aravis is not intended for powered flying.
Warning! The Aravis must never be used for jumps from an aircraft.
