Flying in the rain
Advertising and adhesives
Overloading
We strongly advise you not to fly in the rain on any paraglider including the LT 1. If
you do fly in the rain, be aware that you will have a greater risk of entering a deep
stall. It is wise to apply speed bar after passing through rain until you are confident
that the glider is flying normally and has preferably dried out so that there is no
longer any risk of deep stall.
Flying in extremely humid weather or in rain is outside of the operating limits of the
glider. If you are not able to avoid flying in rain, please observe the following:
- it is advisable to fly with slight acceleration during and after the rain (min. 30% or
more)
- use no brake input or as little as possible
- control travel reduces
- avoid tight turns, especially in the final approach. If conditions allow, you should
also fly slightly accelerated in this phase
- avoid large angles of attack and the possible early stall near the ground (release
the speed bar only slowly
Always make sure before attaching advertising to the glider that the adhesive planned
will not alter the glider’s flight behavior. If you are in doubt, we recommend that you
do not attach the adhesive. Attaching adhesives to the glider which are large, heavy,
or made of unsuitable material may resultin revocation of the certification.
The glider structure is put under high levels of strain in particular on extreme flight
maneuvers, rapid descent methods (spiral dives) or prohibited aerobatic maneuvers.
They considerably accelerate the aging process of the structure and should therefore
be avoided.
The glider must be inspected earlier than is usually the case if it has been put under
more than the usual degree of strain.
Sand and salt air
In many cases, sand and salt air cause the lines and fabric to age much more rapidly.
If you often fly near the sea, the glider should be inspected more frequently than
normally required.
Safety training
The LT 1 is under no circumstances suitable for a pilot’s first experience with safety
training.
Special folding lines were used for certification of the LT 1. Without these folding
lines, tucks and front stalls may vary from the CCC guidelines.
