Purpose
According to LTF 91/09 the Trango XC
3
is
an air sport vehicle (class paraglider) with
an empty weight of less than 120 kg.
LTF and EN
classification
The UP Trango XC³ is certified to the
following classification(s): LTF09/EN C
Target group and
recommended flying
experience
Performance pilots with extensive
experience flying no less than 75h/year in
a variety of conditions. Perfect for the
performance oriented XC pilot.
Necessary skills for
normal flights
Wings in this class are characterised by
their demanding behaviour in case of
inflight disturbances. Short brake travel,
dynamic reactions and little dampening
along all 3 axis' require a great deal of
feeling and experience from the pilot.
Intensive training of the control techniques
as well as profound knowledge of the
appreciation and prevention of unintended
wing configurations are a must for pilots
flying this class of wing.
Necessary skills for
dealing with
disturbances
Paragliders in this class require
correct, timely and adequate pilot
reactions to canopy disturbances.
Pilots flying these wings should be
current and should fly often enough
that their reactions do not grow rusty. If
the necessary skills are not there we
recommend a good SIV course with
the UP Trango XC² to get familiar with
the wing.
Skills for dealing with
rapid descent methods
The behaviour during manoeuvres like
spiral dives or B-line stalls in this class
can be demanding. The pilot should
possess adequate skills for the safe
execution of these rapid descent
manoeuvres. In case of insufficient
skills or experience in this department
we strongly recommend partaking in
an SIV course with the new wing.
Suitability for training
We do
NOT
consider the UP Trango
XC
3
suited for initial training.
Biplace and PPG
The UP Trango XC
3
is for solo pilot
use only. There is no connection
possibility for more than one harness.
The UP Trango XC
3
is not build for
powered paragliding (PPG). There are
no trimmers on the risers.
