Furthermore we recommend regular flying, ground handling, as well as
further theoretical training. We advise that you continuously study flight
theory and practice and that you also study the particulars of your cho-
sen flying equipment. As the owner of your equipment it is your respon-
sibility to comply with checking and maintenance requirements. More
information on this in the “Care and maintenance” section.
Operating limits
The following flying conditions and situations are outside the permit-
ted operating limits of the wing:
• Flying with precipitation (rain, snow, hail) must be avoided at all costs.
Precipitation has a negative impact on the flying characteristics of
the wing. Amongst other things, the stall point and parachutal stall
behaviour changes.
• Low temperatures combined with high humidity can lead to icing,
which also has a negative impact on the wing’s flying characteristics
(parachutal/deep stall, shortening of the brake travel).
• Operating the paraglider is only permissible within the recommended
weight range. The weight range can be found in the technical data.
• Sand, dirt and snow (especially in large quantities) have a very nega-
tive effect on the flying behaviour of the wing. Before each launch,
check your glider for foreign matter and execute a proper pre-flight
checking sequence.
• This paraglider was not designed for aerobatics.
SPEEDMAX 2 target group
The SPEEDMAX 2 is a high-performance paramotor wing which is not
suitable for inexperienced pilots. In the hands of an experienced pilot
it impresses with its comfortable and agile handling.
For queries about the suitability of the wing for you, your NOVA dealer
will be happy to assist!
General information
As an aircraft, paragliders must conform to applicable air law. Depen-
ding on your country of origin, instruction may be compulsory. Addi-
tionally, there are statutory requirements (for example air law) which
must be adhered to.
The SPEEDMAX 2 is designed and certified to carry one pilot. It may
not be used as a tandem wing.
Paramotor pilots must be able to prove that they have valid licences
and must have insurance, as required by their country of residence.
Pilots must be capable of judging meteorological conditions correctly.
Depending on a country's applicable regulations, the use of a helmet
and back protector, as well as carrying a parachute, is mandatory and
highly advisable.
Pilots must accept responsibility for the risk inherent in participating
in the sport. Paramotoring is an adventure sport and can lead to severe
injuries and death. As a manufacturer, we cannot be held responsible
for an individual’s improper practice and participation in the sport.
We recommend that inexperienced pilots and those with a heightened
desire for safety should undertake paramotoring under the auspices
of an accredited school or instructor. Many of our NOVA Partners can
offer this service.
Recommendations
We advise pilots to choose their wings conservatively. It is preferable
if a glider feels too easy than too advanced. One can only get the full
potential from a wing if it feels comfortable. If the wing is too deman-
ding, this does not lead to improved performance and it can increase
the risks.
