Specific usage
End of the flight
The LEAF Light can be towed up. Fly only with certified gear operated by qualified personnel and only after proper training. The
towing force must correspond to the weight of the equipment, and the pulling sequence can only start when the wing is fully inflated
and stable over the pilot's head.
Towing
The LEAF Light was not designed to fly aerobatic maneuvers. We highly discourage its use for this type of flying.
Aerobatics
Be certain to always have enough altitude for a safe landing before approaching the chosen Landing Zone ( PTU, PTS, etc...). Never
make aggressive maneuvers close to the ground. Always land into wind, standing up and ready to run to a stop if necessary. Make
your landing approach at trim speed if possible depending on the weather conditions of the moment, then progressively brake to
slow the glider to a final touchdown. Beware not to brake too much, too soon and too rapidly to prevent a possible stall and hard
landing.
In case of a landing in sustained higher wind speeds, you will need to quickly turnaround, face the wing, move forward while braking
down symmetrically. You can equally pull the "C" risers down to deflate the glider and bring it to the ground.
Landing
Fold each side of your wing in an accordion-like shape. Stack-up the leading edge reinforcements on top of one another and fold
the panels on the top of each other.
Bring one side of the glider over the other while keeping the leading edge reinforcements flat. Roll the wing on itself, starting from the
leading edge toward the trailing edge. During the entire packing procedure, do not bend the leading edge reinforcements.
Folding
The LEAF Light was not designed for tandem flying, is prohibited this type of usage.
