Usage
The P42 has been developed and tested exclusively for use as a paraglider for foot and winch
launch. Improper use is not permitted. The P42 was not built and tested for aerobatics. It is not
suitable or approved for this purpose. If you perform aerobatics with the P42, your life is in danger.
When performing aerobatic manoeuvres, unpredictable flight positions can occur as well as an over
-
load of material and pilot.
The P42 is a light aircraft with a mass of less than 120 kg in the class of paragliders.
The P42 is designed for two-seat operation. In order to ensure safe flight operations, all persons
and equipment involved must have the required licences and certificates. This applies to the pilot,
harness, rescue system and tandem suspension. The P42 is type-tested and classified according to
LTF/EN B.
Motorised Paragliding
The P42 is not certified for paramotor usage.
Winching
Take the following points into account:
– Do not use a tow line tension over 150 kp with the Papillon P42.
– If you are not operating at your usual winch, get aquainted with the local procedures. Every visi
-
tor on unfamiliar flying grounds needs to get a good briefing by a local pilot.
– Never winch the Papillon P42 with loads outside the permitted weight range.
– All involved persons, machines and accessories need to have the appropriate licenses, approvals
or certification for winching. That applies to pilots, hoist operator, towing attachment, attachment
points as well as all further machines and accessories for wich a certificate of competence is
required.
