3. Landing
Because of the exceptional glide, care must be taken during approach and landing.
The METIS 2 is an agile glider and is sensitive to small inputs - over-braking can result in
significant responses. We therefore recommend that you have your first flights at a site you
know well, in easy conditions.
With negative steering you will have more time to carry out manoeuvres calmly and therefore
you will reduce pendulum movements of your paraglider.
Reminder: negative steering involves applying your brakes symmetrically by about 30% of your
maximum range to slow the paraglider, then carrying out turns by releasing the outside brake.
Speeding up just prior to landing allows a more effective flare and therefore a gentler landing.
Caution: Be sure, the passenger is well instructed and can handle easily the landing. Make
sure the passenger can move easily and is ready to react when s/he touches the land.
The pilot also should be well aware of any troubles due to the misbehaviour of the passenger.
