1. Dear Skyman Pilot

We are pleased to welcome you to the world of Skyman paragliders. The CrossCountry² was developed for those XC 
pilots who enjoy very good performance, high speed and high manoeuvrability and do not want to do without safety. 

Like every paraglider, the CrossCountry² also has its own character and wants to be flown in its own way. In order to 
provide you with the greatest possible flying pleasure, we have compiled the following owner´s manual.

2. Important Notes:

Reading this owner´s manual is mandatory!

The paraglider must not be put into use without careful study of this manual in order to avoid operating errors. We 
hereby explicitly point out that no liability can be accepted for possible consequences of improper handling.

This paraglider is a "light air sports glider with an empty mass of less than 120 kg" in the paragliding sector. At the time 
of  delivery,  it  complies  with  the  provisions  of  the  German Airworthiness  Requirement  (LTF)  and  the  European 
Standard EN 926-2, Category B in all sizes.

New gliders must be flown in by the seller. This flight has to be confirmed with date and signature on the attached 
measurement protocol and on the type label of the paraglider.

Any unauthorized modification to the paraglider will invalidate the operating license!

The pilot is responsible of the airworthiness of his glider! It is also the pilot's responsibility to ensure that all legal 
regulations necessary for the operation of this glider are met (e.g. pilot license, insurance, etc.).

It is presupposed that the abilities of the user correspond to the requirements of the device!

The use of the paraglider is at your own risk! The liability of the manufacturer or distributor is excluded!

The following  owner's manual  has been compiled  to the best of our knowledge  and belief. However, it is quite 
possible that different aspects may change in the course of time due to (flight) technical innovations or changed 
approval tests and/or teaching methods. Therefore it is advisable in any case to obtain "updates" in suitable form 
about possible changed opinions and tests either from us or from the appropriate authorities.

3. Target group: 

The CrossCountry² is classified in category B according to LTF (German airworthiness requirements) and EN 
926-2 at the same time. After both tests, the CrossCountry² is only certified as a single-seater. It is suitable for 
experienced and performance-oriented pilots. 

Whether the CrossCountry² is finally suitable for the pilot's own flying purpose and ability should always be 
discussed personally with the dealer.

We recommend every pilot to do a safety training and to play as much as possible with his glider on the ground. 
Perfect control of the glider on the ground and in the air is the key to maximum flying fun and the best insurance for 
accident-free flying.
