1. Dear Independence Pilot
We are pleased to welcome you to the world of Independence paragliders. The Airtaxi² was developed for those
biplace pilots who enjoy very good performance, high speed and high manoeuvrability and do not want to do without
safety.
Like every paraglider, the Airtaxi² also has its own character and wants to be flown in its own way. In order to provide
you with the greatest possible flying pleasure, we have compiled the following owner´s manual.
2. Important Notes:
Reading this owner´s manual is mandatory!
The paraglider must not be put into use without careful study of this manual in order to avoid operating errors. We
hereby explicitly point out that no liability can be accepted for possible consequences of improper handling.
This paraglider is a "light air sports glider with an empty mass of less than 120 kg" in the paragliding sector. At the time
of delivery, it complies with the provisions of the German Airworthiness Requirement (LTF) and the European
Standard EN 926-2, Category B in all sizes.
New gliders must be flown in by the seller. This flight has to be confirmed with date and signature on the attached
measurement protocol and on the type label of the paraglider.
Any unauthorized modification to the paraglider will invalidate the operating license!
The pilot is responsible of the airworthiness of his glider! It is also the pilot's responsibility to ensure that all legal
regulations necessary for the operation of this glider are met (e.g. pilot license, insurance, etc.).
It is presupposed that the abilities of the user correspond to the requirements of the device!
The use of the paraglider is at your own risk! The liability of the manufacturer or distributor is excluded!
The following owner's manual has been compiled to the best of our knowledge and belief. However, it is quite
possible that different aspects may change in the course of time due to (flight) technical innovations or changed
approval tests and/or teaching methods. Therefore it is advisable in any case to obtain "updates" in suitable form
about possible changed opinions and tests either from us or from the appropriate authorities.
3. Target group:
The Airtaxi² is a tandem paraglider, classified in category B according to LTF (German airworthiness
requirements) and EN 926-2 at the same time. EN 926-2 describes the flight characteristics of this category as
follows: „
This makes it suitable for commercial tandem pilots as well as for pleasure and performance pilots.
Whether the Airtaxi² is finally suitable for the pilot's own flying purpose and ability should always be discussed
personally with the dealer.
We recommend every pilot to do a safety training and to play as much as possible with his glider on the ground.
Perfect control of the glider on the ground and in the air is the key to maximum flying fun and the best insurance for
accident-free flying.
Paragliders with good passive safety and forgiving flying characteristics. Gliders with some resistance
to departures from normal flight“; the describtion of pilot skills required: „Designed for all pilots and may be
suitable for pilots under training if recommended by the manufacturer“.
