Commercial tandem flights:
A tandem wing designed to satisfy the most exacting professional dual
pilots. Its durability and performance make this a glider that you will not
want to part with.
Recreational flights:
Experience a tandem wing as you never imagined it and let yourself be
carried away by its supreme comfort and stability. Enjoy each flight with a
tandem that adapts perfectly to your needs and those of your passenger.
1.2 CERTIFICATION
The paraglider has been submitted for the European EN and LTF
certification. All certification tests were performed at the Swiss testing
house Air Turquoise.
All sizes passed the load, shock and flight tests.
The load test proved that the wing can withstand the stipulated 8G.
The shock test proved that the wing can resist 1200 daN of force.
The flight test resulted in the following certification for all sizes:
EN B
LTF B
We recommend that only pilots who are familiar with gliders of this
certification or above fly this paraglider.
Only the aeronautical authorities of respective countries can determine
pilot competence.
We recommend pilots read the flight test report carefully,
especially the comments of the test pilot. The report contains all the
necessary information on how the paraglider reacts during each of the
tested manoeuvres.
It is important to note that different size wings will react differently during
manoeuvres. Even within the same size, at maximum or minimum load,
the behaviour and reactions of the wing may vary.
- Description of EN B class wing characteristics:
Paragliders with a high degree of passive safety and very forgiving flight
characteristics. Gliders with high collapse resistance outside normal
flight.
- Description of the skills required by the pilot to fly an EN B wing:
Designed for all pilots, including pilots under instruction.

Regarding the take off, it inflates more progressively and will take the
weight of pilot and passenger immediately. At the end of the flight, its
excellent speed retention ensures smooth and safe landings.
The TAKOO 5 has a high degree of pitch stability; increasing passenger
