In case the glider collapses you will have to release the acceleration-system
immediately to stabilise and reopen your paraglider.
landinG:
The skywalk ARRIBA can be landed easily. Make your final approach against the wind
and let the glider slow down at its own rate. Further reduce the speed by applying the
brakes lightly and evenly. At about 1m above the ground you increase the angle of
attack by slowing down more and eventually completely flare out the glider. When you
have reached the minimal speed apply full brake. In strong head winds, slow down care-
fully. When you have reached the ground safely, stall the glider warily. Avoid turning
sharply before your final approach. This increases the danger of pendulum effect!
WincHtoWinG:
The skywalk ARRIBA is suitable for winchtowing. Make sure you climb from the ground
at a flat angle.
> Pilot must be instructed in towing.
> Pilot must use a certified winch.
> Winch driver must be instructed in towing. When towing please steer carefully, do not
over-brake, the glider will fly with an increased angle of approach.
MotoriSed fliGHt:
The ARRIBA is, as of January 2009, not recommended for Motorized Flying.
For Motorized Flying, we have special gliders in our Motorizer Program specifically au-
thorised for this purpose.
