Immediately on landing, switch off the engine.
The main advantage of this procedure is of course the possibility of going around with the
wing again (repeating the approach) if anything goes wrong.
Still, if you forget to switch off the ignition before the wing falls down, there is a
considerable risk of damaging propeller, catching lines in it or even suffering injuries
connected with falling on your running engine.
Remember:
•
Whenever possible, get to know the landing field before taking off.
•
Check the wind direction before planning the approach.
•
Landing with power off requires much less space.
•
In case of any doubt, practice the landing until you feel totally safe
•
Never place the power unit downwind of the paraglider.
•
Check, double check and then check once again that there is no fuel leakage.
•
Do you have enough fuel for the flight? It is always better to have too much than too
little!
•
Check that there is nothing loose in the harness that could possibly contact the
propeller in flight.
•
Whenever you encounter a problem, fix it AT ONCE however small it is!
•
Always put on and lock helmet before getting in the harness.
•
Before each launch run a full pre-flight inspection.
•
After landing, continue to maintain the wing's direction straight, as on turning you
always risk getting lines in the propeller.
•
Turn only if there is danger.
•
Do not fly over water, between trees or power lines and other places where engine failure
will leave you helpless, always make sure you have possibility for emergency landing.
•
Mind the turbulence caused by other gliders or even by yourself, especially when flying
low.
•
It is not recommended to let go of the brakes below 100 meters, because a possible
power unit malfunction may require immediate attention .
•
In general never trust your engine, as it can stop at any moment. Always fly prepared for
engine failure.
•
Unless it is absolutely necessary (e.g. collision avoidance), do not execute tight turns
against the torque direction.
Especially when climbing you can easily enter a stall or negative spin.
•
Do not fly with tail wind at low altitudes,- it narrows your options !
•
Do not wait for the problem to grow - any change of engine sound or a vibration may
indicate a problem. You'll never know until you land and check it out!
•
Be certain of your navigation
•
Remember that not everyone is fond of your engine noise.

PACKING
Spread the wing completely out on the ground. Separate the lines to the left and the right
side of the glider. If the risers are removed from the harness, join the two risers together by
passing one carabiner loop through the other. This keeps them neatly together and helps to
stop line tangles.
