GOLDEN RULES
•
Always carry out full pre-flight checks before launching.
•
Never place your paramotor downwind of the glider.
•
Check that there is no fuel leakage. Do you have enough fuel for the flight? It is
always better to have too much than to need an emergency landing.
•
Check for any loose articles that could trail or fall into the propeller while flying and
fasten them securely.
•
If you spot a problem, no matter how small, fix it at once!
•
Always put on and secure your helmet before getting into the harness.
•
Do not ask for trouble - do not fly over water, between trees or power lines and
other places where engine failure will leave you helpless.
•
After landing, control the wing facing the direction of flight to keep the lines out of
the propeller. You should only turn to face the glider to avoid falling backwards onto
your paramotor.
•
Do not take a risk - do not fly over water, between trees or power lines and other
places where engine failure will leave you helpless.
•
Keep in your mind the turbulence caused by other powered gliders, especially
heavy trikes.
•
Keep in mind the turbulence caused by yourself, especially when flying sharp turns,
spiralling or flying low.
•
It is unwise to fly hands-off below about 100m, because a possible power unit
malfunction may require immediate attention.
•
Unless it is absolutely necessary (e.g. collision avoidance), do not make tight turns
against the torque moments. During steep climbs you easily can enter a stall under
power and consequent negative spin.
•
Never trust your engine! It can stop at any moment. Always fly the wing prepared
for this, especially at low altitudes.
•
Avoid downwind low flying. It drastically reduces your options!
•
Do not wait for the problem to grow. Be sensitive and ready to listen. A noticeable
change in engine tone or a new vibration may indicate trouble. Land and check it
out.
•
Be certain of your navigation
•
Not everyone is a friend of your paramotor noise. Keep within the rules and the
laws. Care must be taken when flying near livestock and animals.
