LTF and EN
classification
The UP Summit XC² is certified to the
following classification(s): LTF09/EN C
Target group and
recommended flying
experience
Performance-oriented cross country pilots
with several years of regular flying behind
them. We recommend no less than 50
hours/year in combination with adequate
knowledge of extreme flying training.
Necessary skills for normal
flights
Wings in this class are characterised by
their demanding behaviour in case of in-
flight disturbances. Short brake travel,
dynamic reactions and little dampening
along all 3 axis require a great deal of
feeling and experience from the pilot.
Intensive training of the control techniques
as well as profound knowledge of the
appreciation and prevention of unintended
wing configurations.
Necessary skills for dealing
with disturbances
Paragliders in this class require correct,
timely and adequate pilot reactions to
canopy disturbances. Pilots flying these
wings should be current and should fly
often enough that their reactions don't
grow rusty. If the necessary skills are not
there we recommend a good SIV course
with the UP Summit XC² to get familiar
with it.
Necessary skills for
dealing with rapid descent
methods
The behaviour during manoeuvres like
spiral dives or b-line stalls in this class
can be demanding. The pilot should
possess adequate skills for the safe
execution of these rapid descent
manoeuvres. In case of insufficient
skills or experience in this department
we strongly recommend partaking in
an SIV clinic with the new wing.
Suitability for training
The UP Summit XC² is not suited for
training.
Recommended Takeoff
weight
The UP Summit XC² is manufactured
in four sizes. Each size is optimised for
the middle of the weight range, but can
be flown anywhere within the weight
range. In order to help you find the
ideal size for your weight we have
compiled the following practical tips:
If your total takeoff weight is within the
middle 1/3 of a size's weight range
then this is the size for you.In this
range you will have the ideal
compromise between dynamic
handling and docile behaviour. We
recommend this wing loading
especially for pilots mainly flying in
flatland regions, or pilots coming from
EN B class wings.
Pilots finding themsleves in the middle,
between two sizes need to approach
the process somewhat differently.
Experienced pilots will generally know
how they prefer to fly, i.e. If they like to
be heavy on their wing or rather would
