Section 5
Flying the Hybrid Sport
into the wind and allow the mini wing to
decelerate at trim speed. At 1m above the
ground, pull down the brake lines as far as
possible, so that the wing has been fully
braked just before reaching the ground. To
avoid rising up again just before touch-
down, pull the brake lines carefully.
Bear in mind that all aspects of the landing
circuit must be flown higher than with a
traditional paraglider because the Hybrid
Sport is not a high performance glider.
Landing with open trimmers
Land with open trimmers only if it is
completely calm and if you are certain that
you cannot expect to encounter any
turbulence. As with all paragliders, the risk
of collapse with the Hybrid Sport is greater
in accelerated flight. A collapse on final
approach can be fatal. The trimmer
adjustment has little influence on landing
speed provided that the wing is flared
correctly.
Avoid landing from a sharp turn or making
rapid turns before landing because of the
associated pendulum motion and the high
sink.
WARNING
Always fly with sufficient speed when
you are near the ground (well above
stall speed) to avoid an unintentional
stall.
