LTF and EN classification
The UP Trango X-light² has been tested to
conform to the LTF C and EN C glider
classes for size S and LTF/EN D for sizes
SM and M.
Target group and
recommended flying
experience
Performance pilots with extensive
experience flying no less than 75h/year in
a variety of conditions. Perfect for the
performance oriented XC pilot.
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 are a must for pilots
flying this class of wing.
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 do not
grow rusty. If the necessary skills are not
there we recommend a good SIV course
with the UP Trango X-light² to get
familiar with the wing.
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 Trango X-light² is not suited
for training.
Recommended weight
range
The UP Trango X-light² should be
flown within the stipulated takeoff
weight limits, found in the “Technical
data” section of this manual. The
weights mentioned are total launch
values, including glider, pilot, harness,
all clothing etc. The easiest way to find
your own total launch weight is to jump
onto your scales with the complete
backpack containing all your kit on
your back. UP International
manufactures the Trango X-light² in 4
different sizes. If you find yourself
having to choose between two not
entirely ideal sizes we recommend you
let your choice be guided by your
personal preference for being either a
little light or a little heavy on a wing –
