When taxiing in strong wind conditions the follow procedures apply:
· Head Wind conditions require the nose of the wing to be lowered just below the trim position.
· Down Wind conditions requires the nose of the wing to be raised just above the trim position.
· Cross wind taxiing requires the upwind tip to be lowered.
8.3 Before take off
Before flight a full-throttle check is to be carried out. During this operation the pilot must be seated in the
cockpit and prepared to switch off the ignition at very short notice if an emergency should arise.
WARNING
NEVER LEAVE YOUR ULTRALIGHT UNATTENDED WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
CAUTION
BEWARE OF LOOSE STONES IN THE RUN UP AREA. LOOSE STONES CAN BE SUCKED UP BY
THE PROPELLER AND CAUSE SEVERE PROPELLER DAMAGE IN A VERY SHORT TIME. RUN
UPS ARE BEST CONDUCTED ON A CLEAR SURFACE OR ON GRASS, NEVER ON GRAVEL.
8.4 Take Off
The trike has a neutral static balance allowing a safe take-off that is controllable under all suitable flying
conditions.
Take off should be made on full power.
During take-off, the control bar should be held in the forward position with the wing level. Accelerate
smoothly to the take off safety speed.
When the ultralight reaches the takeoff safety speed it lifts up and the trike rotates quickly on the main
wheels. As the ultralight leaves the ground the control bar must be eased back to the trim position to
maintain takeoff safety speed.
Maintain your engine in top condition and assume it’s going to stop running at any time. Leave yourself a
way out for an unexpected engine failure.
Never fly your ultralight at locations, airspeeds, altitudes, or under any circumstances from which a
successful engine-off landing cannot be attempted.
8.5 Climb
Initial climb out should be made on full power for maximum take off weight. Once climb is established
power should be reduced. A minimum of takeoff safety speed should be used. Avoid pitching the nose of
the ultralight too high to the horizon. Very steep climbs are dangerous and can result in a stall followed
by a severe pitching of the nose forward.
WARNING
NEVER STALL THE ULTRALIGHT WITH THE NOSE PITCHED UP BEYOND 30 DEGREES.
MANOEUVRES BEYOND THIS ANGLE ARE DANGEROUS AND CAN RESULT IN A TAIL SLIDE FOLLOWED
BY A SEVERE TUMBLE.
8.6 Cruise
When the desired flight altitude is reached the ultralight may be leveled out and throttle reduced to that
required to maintain level flight.
CAUTION
HIGH-ANGLE CLIMB-OUTS NEAR THE GROUND SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
