Safety Precautions
We recommend the following precautions:
•
Th
e U-Turn THRILLER X3 is not certifi ed by DHV, AFNOR, DAEC, CEN, EN or any other institution.
•
Make your maiden fl ight in a familiar fl ying site and calm conditons .
•
Test your THRILLER X3 only over water.
•
In a „dynamic fl ight“ are not only you exposed to high loads but also the glider. Please don`t under estimate this.
•
Only fl y the THRILLER X3 with at least one reserve parachute.
•
observe and abide to the local aviation laws which rule in the respective country in question.
•
Successful completion of appropriate training/schooling, having the needed knowledge as well as the actual fl ight
experience are a prerequisite to operate your U-Turn THRILLER X3.
•
Th
e use of suitable, certifi ed and in the respective country approved accessories (helmet, harness, reserve) is a
requirement for the use of the U-Turn THRILLER X3.
•
Execute before every take off a thourough inspection of your equipment (topsail, undersail, ribs, especially the
lines, carabiners, buckles, cloth speed system etc.) A fl ight with a tear in a glider or lines can be life threatening.
•
Make sure that your fl ying gear is in good condition and all checks are done.
•
Be aware that you as a pilot have to be in a physical and mental state to control each fl ight unimpaired. You have
to concentrate completely on fl ying, in order to avoid potential distressing fl ight conditions. Most accidents are
caused by pilot error.
•
Never fl y in close proximity to high voltage transmission lines, airports or motorways, over people or with light-
ning! You cold endanger your life and the physcial well being of yourself as well as third parties and at the same
time act reckless and negligent. At nor circumstance should the minimum distance fall below 50m at any give
time. At airports this minimum distance to maintain is 5km.
•
Inform yourself on the weather forecast and/or the predominating local weather conditions. Use the U-Turn
THRILLER X3 only in wind strengths, in which you are able to control the wing for 100%. Do not use the U-
Turn THRILLER X3, in wind with a great gust factor. Never use the glider with approaching thunderstorms or
if probability of those of the development of thunderstorms is high. Land with thunderstorms approaching near
immediately!
•
Th
e fl ying of aerobatics is generally forbidden and is dangerous. Unforeseen fl ight orientations can occur, which
can spill out of control, arising the danger of overload on pilot and equipment.
Ignoring one or several safety precautions can lead to a leisurely fun fl ight,
turning into a fatal event.
