INFORMATION ABOUT DANGER  

If the pilot makes mistakes while flying or there are extreme wind conditions or 
turbulences  which  the  pilot  does  not  asses  correctly,  the  glider  can  react 
abnormally. These situations require special reactions and skills of the pilot.  
The best way to stay calm and make the right decisions in such an emergency is 
to do a safety training. You would be practicing with professional help on how to 
handle extreme flight situations. Another good method is to get confident with the 
reactions of the glider on the ground. You can practice the launch as well as small 
manoeuvers  like  stall,  front  stall,  one  side  fold  up…etc.  Every  pilot  who  flies  in 
turbulences  and  makes  mistakes  with  steering  puts  himself  in  danger  of  an 
extreme flight situation. 

WARNING

All extreme flight and aerobatics are dangerous if the pilot does 

not have enough adequate knowledge or enough safety height. Please stay in all 
operating limits. Avoid aerobatics and extreme stresses
. Like that you avoid 
accidents and too much stress on the glider fabric.  
Always  keep  enough  distance  to  cliffs  and  other  barriers  during 
turbulences
.  You  need  enough  height  and  time  for  recovery  in  extreme 
situations. If no recovery technics help or the height is too low, release the rescue 
system. 

 

SAFETY PRACTICE  

Basically it is recommended to join a safety practice in order for you to know how 
to react in extreme situations and get confident with your device. Nevertheless it 
is always a high stress for the material if you practice these situations. 

STRESS FOR MATERIAL AND DAMAGES 

Uncontrolled flight situations – like they can be encountered during safety training, 
extreme  manoeuvres  or  after  massive  collapses  or  cascades  -  are  outside  the 
manufacturer’s  limits  of  the  paramotor  glider.  This  may  cause  a  general 
deterioration in flight characteristics, premature ageing, or even structural failure.

 

 

 

AREA OF APPLICATION  

The APAX was developed and tested only to operate as a glider for foot launch 
with or without an engine. Using it out of the area of application is illegal
Never use it for skydiving. Aerobatics are illegal.  

WINCHING   

The APAX is adapted for winching using standard winching procedures. You are 
responsible to ensure that your winching operations are safe and in compliance 
with the applicable procedures. Make sure to have adequate training - suitable for
