Extreme flight manoeuvres
Aerobatics
If you find that you are landing with a tailwind by mistake, you
should pull the brakes earlier and most important of all more
dynamically.
In strong winds apply brakes very gently when landing. On the
ground, the best way to collapse the canopy quickly is by using
the C-risers while turning around at the same time and deflating
the airfoil by chasing the canopy.
Caution: After landing never let the inflated canopy fall with its cell
openings facing the ground, you will run the risk of bursting the
profile ribs! In situations when the Canopy threatens to pass over
the pilot after landing, a strong pull on the rear line groups/risers
will help.
The MANX possesses a very high aerodynamic stability and
forgiving flight characteristics.
However, it is still possible th at the canopy may enter extreme
flight positions whilst in turbulence or due to pilot errors.
The most important pilot reaction is to keep calm. Inc orrect or
exaggerated reactions are the most common reason preventing
the MANX from immediately returning to normal flight by itself.
Acting correctly in extreme flight manoeuvres can be learnt in a
safety training course. freeX recommend you to attend an
authorized safety course. Such flight manoeuvres can be
intentionally induced over water (wearing a life jacket and with a
rescue boat waiting below) under professional instruction - this is
the safest way to get familiar with such conditions.
The MANX is - just as any other paraglider - neither suited for
aerobatics nor licensed for it. All manoeuvres surpassing a
horizontal incline of 60° and a longitudinal incline of 30° as well
as flight manoeuvres in which an airstream hits the canopy from
behind are considered aerobatics.
