Warning and safety precautions
The purchaser of this product takes responsibility for all risks, associated with the
paraglider, including injury and death. Wrong usage will considerably increase these
risks. The purchaser is aware that a completed course and a pilot licence for the relevant
country is required for paragliding.
Every arbitrary change to the paraglider´s construction will evoke termination of the
airworthiness.
The PASHA 3 must not be used:
- outside the certified weight range
- during rain or snow-fall
- in high or gusty winds
- in cloud and fog
- by pilots without sufficient knowledge or experience
The Pasha 3 is a tandem paraglider. Solo flight or flight with more than two persons
are forbidden
The Pasha 3 has been developed for foot-launch, and for tandem flights.
The Pasha 3 has been tested by DHV test pilots to DHV 1-2 GH category.
Flight tests have shown that the glider remains stable and controllable over a wide range
of normal and abnormal flight conditions. Nevertheless, turbulence and gusting winds
can lead to a partial or complete collapse of the canopy. Therefore never fly in such
conditions. It also has been load and shock-tested and passed with a load
corresponding to 8G of the maximum weight in flight (220 kg).

WARNING!! The PASHA 3 is not suitable for jumps from aircraft!
Construction

Safety equipment
The Pasha 3 construction uses a system where every second cell is attached to the lines
and V-Tapes. These V-Tapes doesn't lead to the upper surface, but they are stitched in
ca 80% of the airfoil height.
The line construction is clear from the line plan.
The glider is delivered with five risers system and tandem spreader bars. Its speed can
reach 38 - 41 km/h depending on the weight of the pilots. The brake-lines should always
be adjusted so that the first brake-lines just come under tension when the brake handles
have been pulled 5 - 10 cm.
The test results relate to this brake-line adjustment. In extreme situations other settings
may lead to the glider reacting differently. To be able at all times to react quickly enough
to possible problems; you should not let go of the brake handles during the flight (it may
be possible to hold both handles in one hand). Alter the line length to bring the handles to
a suitable height when using your harness.
An optimal outfit should be a matter of course for every paraglider pilot. Always wear
stout footwear, a helmet, and gloves. Clothing should be warm and allow sufficient
freedom of movement. A rescue-system can be life-saving in case of an irremediable
disturbance of the canopy, collapse in the air or material failure, and is therefore
imperative.
