5.1.3. Flight
MOREA 2
is trimmed to fly at best glide hands up. The minimum sink rate is
produced with brake lines down about 20% ­25% of their range : close to
connectors.
Flight in turbulent conditions should be met with light pressure on both brakes as
this will stabilize the wing. Flying with a little brake applied will also help prevent
closures and provides better feedback from your glider as it reacts to the
surrounding air. Responding correctly to movements of the wing through the
brakes and transfer of weight shift is known as "active piloting". A pilot
demonstrating good active flying skills will significantly reduce the number and
severity of collapses he or she experiences. Repeated collapses and
uncomfortable turbulence will hopefully encourage you to shorten your flight and
find a safe landing zone.
A turn with the
MOREA 2
is simple and can offer an elegant dimension in
thermalling efficiently. The turn can be initiated by gently pulling on the brake
handle until the desired turn rate is achieved. A transfer of weight and / or small
input with the outside brake is possible to optimize angle of bank. It is also possible
to maneuver the
MOREA 2
using the rear risers and harness weight shift.
This can be effective in an emergency, for example with the loss of a
brake handle in flight.
When using the speed system the entire speed range is aerodynamically efficient.
However at maximum speed the risk of collapse increases. Be prepared to
immediately release the accelerator to the first sign sign of a collape or loss of
pressure. Close to the ground, use speed bar cautiously or not at all.
5.1.4. Landing
The nice glide ratio of the
MOREA 2
can add to the challenges when landing, and
the pilot must be cognizant of the effects of wind gradient on approach. For this
reason, it is best to approach the LZ at best glide, or hands up, until the optimum
moment of landing.
When landing in strong winds, on the ground and after ensuring proper canopy
control, the pilot can release the brakes and grab C risers to symmetrically pull
down the wing to the ground.
