Performance
Due to the additional miniribs in the profile nose, the leading edge remains largely stable even in fast flight. Thus, the TENOR
offers a very flat polar with an outstanding performance for its class.
Target group
The TENOR is aimed at a very broad group of pilots who want to leave the mountain and go for a cross county flight. The wide
speed window makes it possible for the pilot to make good progress against the wind to fly closed tasks.
The high level of performance in an accelerated state in moving air predestines the TENOR for ambitious pilots who do not want
to do without maximum safety.
Pilot requirements
A paraglider with the maximum safe classification B does not place high demands on the pilot. Nevertheless, self-evident action
is indispensable.
In order to fly the TENOR safely, the pilot should have already gained some experience and completed flights in various
conditions.
Each pilot must be able to judge whether his skills and equipment are actually up to the to expect flying conditions! Even with
equipment with maximum passive safety, a wrong decision can have devastating consequences!
It is solely up to the pilot to avoid such misjudgments by continuing his education in theory and practice, and making his
decisions wisely and according to his skills.
It is also up to the pilot to use suitable protective equipment and to ensure the constant function of his equipment.
Only those who are aware of these principles can practice paragliding safely and enjoyably.
Before the first flight
First flight
Each PHI paraglider must be flown in and inspected by a PHI dealer prior to handout to the customer. This first flight must be
entered together with the date and pilot on the type table sheet of the paraglider (in the intake of the middle cell).
Registration
In order to be able to use all service and guarantee services, you must register your paraglider on the PHI homepage under
SERVICE / REGISTRATION.
Scope of delivery
The PHI TENOR comes with a pack sack, inner pack sack, packing tape and repair kit.
Modifications to the paraglider
The specifications on delivery match to those the wing has been certified. Any unauthorized modification (such as changing the
length of the lines, changing the riser) will result in a loss of certification!
Only the main brake line can be adjusted to a small extent:
On the main brake line is a mark where the brake handle is knotted. This setting can be slightly adapted to have sufficient braking
distance available in extreme flight situations and when landing, and on the other hand not to constantly pull the brakes,
especially in accelerated flight!
It is recommended that you take advantage of expert assistance to avoid the wrong setting or wrong knot technique. A wrong
knot can slip surprisingly (the wing is only very limited steerable), as well as a too short brake line can significantly affect the
flight behavior, resulting in the loss of certification.
Suitable harness
The choice of the harness significantly influences the flight behavior of the TENOR. There are harnesses that allow very effective
weight shifting, but also pass on turbulences relatively undamped to the pilot. Less agile harnesses allow no extreme weight shift,
