Pre-Flight Check
Clip-In To The Spreader Bar
Double check for a "line over", launching with a line over can be dange-
rous! Let the passenger take an active part in the pre-flight check, to
make him familiar with the glider.
The U2 has been tested and certified together with the delivered tandem
spreader bars. Other tandem suspension systems can considerably
change flight behavior as well as behavior in extreme flight conditions.
The spreader bars (see illustration, page 34) is equipped with a loop for
the pilot (A), two loops for the glider risers (B + C), and two loops for the
passenger (D + E). The pilot always clips himself in loop A. For passen-
gers with normal weight the glider riser is cliped in loop C, for light pas-
sengers loop B is used. Loop E is for shorter passengers, loop D for tal-
ler passengers. Clip in symmetrically!
The compulsory biplace safety system has to be mounted beyond the
reach of the passenger and according to the manufacturers
instructions.
Usually the connecting line of the parachute is lead over the back of the
pilot to the spreader bars. There it is hooked in to the carabiners to con-
nect with the main risers.
