Weight Range - Advance acoustic IOTA 23 User Manual

Weight range

The weight ranges for the different wing sizes are listed in the
«Technical Data» section . The figures given there refer to total take-off
weight . This includes the pilot's body weight including clothing, as well
as the weight of all the equipment ( paraglider, harness, instruments,
etc . – everything that's going to fly ) .
Flying at the lower or upper limits of the weight range can affect the
flying characteristics of the wing, without, however, compromising
your safety . The I OTA's performance remains the same whether flying
in its lower or upper weight region . When the I OTA is flown in its up-
per weight area, the higher wing loading produces a higher trim speed,
and a more dynamic and agile flying character .
Tip: ADVANCE recommend that the I OTA is flown in the middle
to the upper part of its recommended weight range .
