The 5-point check is carried out immediately before launch to check the most important safety
points once again. It should always be carried out in the same sequence so that nothing is
overlooked. The 5 points are:
1. Is your personal equipment, and that of your passenger, in order (harness, carabiners,
reserve, helmet) and are all straps done up?
2. Is the canopy arranged in a half-moon shape and are all the air intakes open?
3. Are all the lines untangled and are any lines under the canopy, are the tandem
spreaders correctly attached and adjusted?
4. Does the weather, in particular wind direction and strength, allow a safe fl ight?
5. Are the airspace and launch area clear?
}
Before fl ying, check the following:
● Are you in good physical and mental condition?
● Are you familiar and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations in your area?
● Are you within the certi fi ed weight range?
●
Do you have the necessary insurance cover?
● Are you briefed thoroughly about the site, airspace and expected weather conditions of
the day?
● Is your equipment and choice of site suitable for your level of experience?
● Do you have a suitable helmet, gloves, boots, eyewear and adequate clothing?
● Are you carrying some form of identi fi cation, in case of an accident? Take along a radio
and mobile phone if possible.
●
Do you fully understand how to safely fl y your new wing? If not, have your instructor or
dealer explain anything you are not sure about.
Launching a
The key to a successful launch technique is to practice ground handling on fl at ground whenever
you can. The Yeti Tandem 3 has good launch characteristics for its class, and no special launch
techniques are required.
}
We recommend a forward launch in nil to light winds with closed or slightly opened trimmers. Pull
up the glider with the lines stretched. It is not necessary to use any momentum to launch the Yeti
Tandem 3 and/or to start running with slack lines.
a
Lean forward positively and guide the ‘A’ risers smoothly upwards in an arc, keeping your
elbows bent and hands at the level of the shoulders. The Yeti Tandem 3 will in
fl ate easily—there
is no need to aggressively pull or push the risers. As the glider comes above your head, make
sure that the canopy is correctly in
fl ated and that there are no knots or tangles in the lines.
Check that the airspace and visibility are clear. If everything is in order, move forward decisively
off the take-off.
