PHI FANTASIA, Manual, Page: 5 / 19

5.Handling
Although the maximum braking distance is very long, the control paths are short and direct for turning, the
brake pressure is low with good progression and excellent feedback. The FANTASIA can be turned very
sensitively and with comparatively small brake inputs in thermals.
6.Performance
The PHI FANTASIA offers solid performance in all areas: it climbs well, glides well and still shows a decent
glide even against the wind.
7.Target Group
The FANTASIA can be safely flown by a very broad group of pilots. The very forgiving flight behaviour of this
wing makes it very easy, even for an absolute beginner, to learn to fly. Even somewhat advanced pilots or
those with years of experience will enjoy this wing for a long time.
8.Pilot Requirements
A paraglider with the maximum safety classification of EN A does not place high demands on the pilot.
Nevertheless, independent pilot action is indispensable.
Every independently flying pilot must be able to judge whether his skills and his equipment are actually up
to the respective flight conditions. Even with equipment with maximum passive safety, misjudgements can
have devastating consequences.
It is solely up to the pilot to avoid such misjudgments by continuing to educate himself in theory and
practice and making his decisions carefully and according to his skills.
It is also up to the pilot to use suitable protective equipment and to ensure that his equipment is always
functional.
Anyone who is aware of these principles can practice paragliding safely and enjoyably.
