All lines and risers should be untangled and arranged in a way that they
do not catch on anything. Special attention should be paid to the A-
lines, which should run free from the A-risers (pink sleeve) to the
canopy.
It is equally important to untangle the control lines so that they are clear
and cannot get caught during launch.
The control lines should run freely through the D - rings to the trailing
edge of the canopy. Make sure the risers are not twisted.
It is important that no lines are looped around the canopy.
A so called "line-over" may have disastrous consequences during
takeoff.
Before every launch check lines, risers and canopy for damage! Do not
launch in case of even the smallest damage!
Launch :
The NOVA XYON is easy to launch.
When the pilot is ready to takeoff he / she holds the
A-risers and the control handles.
To facilitate differentiation between A - lines and control-lines the A-lines
including the sleeves on the A - risers are coloured pink, the brake-lines
and the brake-handles are colored blue.
Check your canopy before launch and via a last glance before starting to
launch.
Hold your arms stretched back and down as an extension of the A-lines.
A good hard run ensures your NOVA XYON will inflate and come up
equally and quickly, a "surging forward" is unusual.
After the initial effort of inflation, keep applying forward pressure on the
A risers (pushing them forward not pulling down) until the canopy is
directly over the pilot’s head- the paraglider should be braked gently and
possibly corrected for drift in order to keep it above the pilot’s head.
Moving the pilots body to the center of the glider is the best method of
correction, if there is sufficient room.
