HOMOLOGATION
The CAYENNE5 is certified to LTF 09 and EN926-1, EN926-2 in the category C.
The CAYENNE5 is defined as a lightweight sport aircraft with an empty weight of less than
120kg in the paraglider category. The many homologation tests are the last hurdle in the
development of a skywalk paraglider. The homologation test flights only take place when
the test team is completely happy with the glider development. We remark that the cer-
tification results will differ during flight in thermals or turbulent air. The homologation in-
forms solely regarding the paraglider performance during extreme-flight-manoeuvres per-
formed in stable air conditions. These extreme-flight-manoeuvres during the homologa-
tion process should thus not be over-valued. Remember that certification maneuvers were
carried out with a harness in the group GH with a carabiner distance (middle to middle) of
42-46 cm. If another harness is used, the glider may display flight characteristics that dif-
fer from those in the description.
NATURE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY COMPATIBLE BEHAVIOR
We have taken the first step towards ecological awareness with our nature-friendly
sport. Especially with our mountain climbers who prefer to climb to the launch site.
Nevertheless, we plan on continuing in the same vein. This means specifically: clean up
your trash, stay on marked trails and don’t cause unnecessary noise. Please help to
maintain the balance of nature and to respect animals in their territory.

MAINTENANCE CHECK
According to LTF regulations your glider will have to undergo a maintenance check
after 24 months or after 150 flight hours (according to which occurs first). According
to these regulations the Two-Year-Check has to be carried out by the manufacturer, its
representative or by the owner himself. The check will have to be confirmed by a official
stamp (ex. Checkair label). Missing this deadline or if the check is carried out by an
unauthorised company will lead the skywalk CAYENNE5 to lose any guarantee claim.
We recommend not doing this check yourself. Without the proper instruments and specific
knowledge the check will be insufficient. Airworthiness is therefore not guaranteed.
CAUTION
IF THE GLIDER IS SUBJECTED TO ABOVE AVERAGE WEAR AND TEAR (EX-
TREME FLIGHT MANEUVERS, FORBIDDEN ACROBAT FLIGHT MANEUVERS) OR
IS USED FREQUENTLY IN SAND OR SALTY AIR, IT SHOULD BE INSPECTED
EARLIER OR SHOULD UNDERGO AN ADDITIONAL INSPECTION!
Changes to the paraglider:
Your skywalk CAYENNE5 is manufactured within the regulated parameters of tolerance.
These parameters are very narrow and must not be altered under any circumstance.
Only this way the optimum balance between performance, handling and safety can be
guaranteed!
CAUTION
UNAUTHORIZED CHANGES INVALIDATE THE TYPE APPROVAL AND ALL
LIABILITY CLAIMS AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER ARE INVALIDATED.
