Safety Precautions
We recommend the following precautions:
• Make your maiden fl ight in a familiar fl ying site and calm conditons.
• Test your U-Turn BLACKLIGHT only over water.
• In a „dynamic fl ight“ are not only you exposed to high loads but also the glider. Please don`t un-
der estimate this.
• Only fl y the BLACKLIGHT with at least one reserve parachute.
• observe and abide to the local aviation laws which rule in the respective country in question.
• Successful completion of appropriate training/schooling, having the needed knowledge as well as
the actual fl ight experience are a prerequisite to operate your U-Turn BLACKLIGHT.
• Th e use of suitable, certifi ed and in the respective country approved accessories (helmet, harness,
reserve) is a requirement for the use of the U-Turn PASSION.
• Execute before every take off a thourough inspection of your equipment (topsail, undersail, ribs,
especially the lines, carabiners, buckles, cloth speed system etc.) A fl ight with a tear in a glider or
lines can be life threatening.
• Make sure that your fl ying gear is in good condition and all checks are done.
• Be aware that you as a pilot have to be in a physical and mental state to control each fl ight unim-
paired. You have to concentrate completely on fl ying, in order to avoid potential distressing fl ight
conditions. Most accidents are caused by pilot error.
• Never fl y in close proximity to high voltage transmission lines, airports or motorways, over peo-
ple or with lightning! You cold endanger your life and the physcial well being of yourself as well
as third parties and at the same time act reckless and negligent. At nor circumstance should the
minimum distance fall below 50m at any give time. At airports this minimum distance to main-
tain is 5km..
• Inform yourself on the weather forecast and/or the predominating local weather conditions.
Usethe U-Turn BLACKLIGHT only in wind strengths, in which you are able to control the wing
for 100%. Do not use the U-Turn BLACKLIGHT, in wind with a great gust factor. Never use the
glider with approaching thunderstorms or if probability of those of the development of thunder-
storms is high. Land with thunderstorms approaching near immediately!
• Th e fl ying of aerobatics is generally forbidden and is dangerous. Unforeseen fl ight orientations
can occur, which can spill out of control, arising the danger of overload on pilot and equipment.
Ignoring one or several safety precautions can lead to a leisurely fun fl ight,
turning into a fatal event.
