ing on the webbing) (bottom stitching, the 5 maillons must be level).
Make sure that the brake toggles are free running and not tangled.
- If you have attached the speed system, make sure that it is correctly set up, complete-
ly free running, and not tangled or caught up in any other part of your equipment.
- If you have a reserve parachute, make sure that this is also correctly set up, and that
nothing will either cause your parachute to deploy accidentally or prevent it from
deploying correctly should you need to do so in an emergency.
-Continue with a full check of your paramotor engine, harness, and any other equipment,
carefully following all of the checks and recommendations as stipulated in your paramo-
tor’s manual.
- Once you have commenced the launch run and the wing is roughly in the 10 to 11
O’clock position, and flying correctly, applying a little thrust from the motor will greatly
help with the launch.
- Before you start your launch run, make 100% sure that the wind & weather conditions
are safe and correct for taking off and flying, and that your take off run and the air space
you are about to launch into is clear of people, vehicles, any obstacles, or air traffic. IF
IN ANY DOUBT, DO NOT LAUNCH.
With the wing nicely overhead in the correct flying position, a quick BUT THOROUGH
visual check to make 100% sure that everything is in order, ensuring that the wing, lines,
risers, etc, are all in perfect order before committing to take off.
Now it is very important to keep your body as vertical as you can, so that the thrust of
the engine acts horizontally, and as much away from the canopy as possible, and then
accelerate to take off speed. If you do this correctly, you should find yourself in the air
within only a few meters.
> flying in turbulence
Only an experienced and proficient pilot should ever fly in any kind of turbulent condi-
tions. The pilot has to fly ‘actively’ (to maintain correct air speed and glider attitude) in
effect ‘absorbing’ turbulence with the controls and weight shift to keep the glider over-
head and help prevent any deflations and always to be extremely careful not to stall the
wing, through bad pilot input or use of motor, especially through overuse of thrust and/or
the controls.
Always remember that by applying thrust this pushes the pilot forwards relative to the
wing, increasing the angle of attack and wing loading, at least momentarily. This in effect
shortens the available brake travel (speed range) of the glider, making it stall at a high-
er brake position. For this reason, under power it is not recommended to use more than
70% of the brake travel and to generally use less brake than you would when not under
