  • Page 2: General Data

    DHV (German Hanggliding Association) and has successfully passed all load- and flight tests. The test results confirm that in a broad field of normal and abnormal flying conditions the JAZZ proves to be stable and airworthy. Please always consider the fact, that in turbulent conditions any paraglider can tuck partly or completely.

  • Page 3: Preflight Checklist

    Use only suitable launch sites which allow a safe abort if necessary. After the thorough pre-flight check of the canopy according to the check list above, position your JAZZ in an arch layout and make sure, that all the cells are open. In case of a stronger wind we recommend not to unfold too much, so you are not overpowered during inflation.

  • Page 4: Flight With Speed-System

    4 of 14 FLIGHT Basic advice: Always fly at safe altitude! The JAZZ has its best glide ratio with brakes up. Minimum sink rate is achieved with brakes slightly pulled. In turbulence you can prevent tucks by braking slightly. Forward pendulum movements of the canopy can be countered by braking, backward pendulum by letting the brakes go.

  • Page 5: Asymmetric Tucks

    RECOVERY Generally the JAZZ will quickly reinflate itself. If the pilot reacts correctly, recovery will be faster and the loss of altitude is less. Pull the brake line of the opposite side of the tucked canopy to stop rotation and regain stability.
  • Page 6 Pull down these both lines at the same time. The more you pull, the more surface tucks (and the more you sink). RECOVERY Generally the JAZZ reinflates itself as soon as you release the A-lines. You can speed up the recovery by braking slightly. In case the lines get entangled, pump them free. - FRONTAL TUCKS ENTRY INTO THIS SITUATION Grasp the A-risers at about the position of the rapid links.
  • Page 7 If you release the risers rapidly, the JAZZ usually regains flight itself. If you do it too slowly, the JAZZ can remain either very long or constantly in deep stall (losing much altitude, high sinkrate!). In this case to recover sufficient altitude and active pilot input is necessary.
  • Page 8 RECOVERY As soon as you release the brakes the JAZZ resumes normal flight in general. Otherwise brake on the opposite side to stop rotation. ATTENTION! - As soon as rotation stops you have to release the brake, otherwise you spin the other way round.
  • Page 9 CAUTION! - The JAZZ is a dynamic paraglider and it is very easy to reach high speeds, lose altitude quickly and put high physical strains on the pilot. Exit the spiral dive with sufficient altitude! Attempting...

NOTE! - Before you install the Speed-System to another harness, please contact PRO-DESIGN or your agent. Follow our comments we give in chapter FLYING PRECAUTIONS AND CONTROLS! In case you have any doubts, contact PRO-DESIGN or your dealer.

    From the mark to the end of the line = 25cm. USABILITY The JAZZ is an Intermediate-class glider with dynamic handling, high stability and excellent performance. The JAZZ is also made for those pilots who are not flying permanently, but not willing to go without performance. TESTFLIGHT CERTIFICATE Type: JAZZ .............
