the maximum speed.
Please note that different harnesses can
cause very different wing characteristics in
extreme situations (like increased risk of
twists with cocoon harnesses).
Note that the height of the hang point also
affects the brake line length. If you have a
question about your UP harness, contact
your dealer or UP International.
Rescue system
It is strongly recommended that you have
a rescue system (reserve parachute) fitted
at all times. In some countries it is
mandatory, so check if you plan to travel.
Make sure that the reserve system you
have is the correct size, and that you are
fully conversant with its use.
For fitting the reserve system, follow the
instructions of the harness manufacturer.
Use of the UP Trango
XC³
The UP Trango XC³ has been developed
and tested solely for foot launched and
winch launched paragliding flights. It is not
allowed and potentially dangerous to use
the glider for any other purpose.
Aerobatics
The UP Trango XC³ has not been
developed, constructed and/or tested for
aerobatics use.
WARNING!
The glider has not
been certified for aerobatics.
Performing
aerobatics
with the UP Trango XC³
or any other paraglider can
be very dangerous. Doing
aerobatics can induce flying
configurations well beyond the tested flight
envelope, and can lead to total loss of
control. Aerobatics can also overload
your glider and break it in flight.
Motorised Paragliding
The UP Trango XC³ has not been
tested for use with any kind of engine.
If you wish to fly your UP Trango XC³
with a motor please get in touch with
the manufacturer of the engine unit,
with UP International GmbH and with
the governing body for ultralight flying
in your area, to check on certification
of this configuration.
Flight practice and
safety
Both of the following chapters (Flight
practise and Flight safety) describe
fundamental
aspects
of
flying
paragliders. In no way do they
substitute proper training, nor should
any of the content therein be unknown
to any pilot who has chosen to fly a
paraglider like the UP Trango XC³.
Flight practice
Pre-flight check
Make sure whenever you get your UP
Trango XC³ back from somebody else
to check the glider very carefully if you
are not the only pilot flying it. Ask if
there was anything that could have
damaged any part of the glider, if the
pilot has found any part that needs to
be replaced or if they noticed any
strange flight behaviour. Make sure
you do the same when you lend your
glider to somebody else.
