contained in this Manual are all based on
test flights, which were carried out under

’
reactions to
these standardised tests, generally
without any intervention by the pilot.
The complexity of the paraglider system
means that the standardised tests can
give only a partial description of the
glider’s flight behaviour and reactions to
disturbances. Even a small alteration in
individual parameters can result in flight
behaviour which is markedly modified and
different from the description given.
