Page 2: Important Limitations
To familiarize yourself with your glider, please read this manual carefully. By IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS FOR USING ICARO PARAGLIDING doing this, you will be better prepared to deal with any critical flight incidents EQUIPMENT which may occur. This manual contains important design information about your glider, flight characteristics and technical specifications.
Page 3: Ice2 Xc Design
Nesler's Fly CAD FD Paraglider Design Software to create a glider consistent with handling, without leaving the safety of the DHV2 class. Handling of the ICE2 XC is the legacy of ICARO´s famous Laminar hang gliders. direct, dynamic and well balanced.
Page 4: Lines
Lines: Using your ICE2 XC: To ensure durability, ICARO uses Edelrids HMA lines for the ICE2 XC. These lines won't stretch and transfer pilots handling directly to the canopy. Ground Handling: Depending on the line level, we use different diameters:...
Page 5: Launch Preparation
Risers must be untwisted with the A-Risers facing forward as in-flight. The ICE2 XC is designed having classic ICARO superb take-off characteri- stics. ICARO gliders have split A-risers. For reverse launching in stronger Speed System.
Page 6: Accelerating
Accelerating: Landing For better penetration in headwinds you can fly faster by using the accelerator The ICE2 XC is very easy to land. Always stand up in the harness in the lan- system. Using the accelerator decreases the angle of attack and can make the gli- ding position very early in order to be able to react as fast as possible to sud- der more prone to collapse.
Page 7: Descent Techniques
Descent techniques B-line stall Fast descents may be appropriate in certain flight situations. Some examples Before initiating a b-line stall, the pilot should check sufficient terrain clearan- of when quick descent may improve safety: to descend away from a cumulus ce to fully perform and exit the manoeuvre.
Page 8: Spiral Dive
Asymmetric release of B-Risers: may result in spin. Flight Incidents Releasing risers without releasing brakes as well: may result in deep Warning: simulation of flight incidents (SFI) should only take place at profes- stall. sional safety training seminars. They should be held using the highest level of professional trainer and only while flying over water.
Page 9: Symmetric Collapse
It is important that you maintain flight path away from terrain or other obstacles. Cravat Usually, aggressively rolling your body weight on the good side is sufficient to divert air to the collapse and cause it to re-inflate. In rare circumstances, during a large deflation, part of the glider, particularly a wing tip, may get caught in its own lines.
Page 10: Negative Spin
In the event that steering using brakes is no longer possible, for example, a This manoeuvre generally should not happen in normal flight. ICARO gliders are broken brake line, the glider may be steered by gently pulling on either D-riser.
Page 11: Repair
Step 1 Lay your paraglider on a clean floor of a big room so that the glider is fully spread out, including the lines. Note in your report the make, When your ICE2 XC is in need for repairs, please contact a local ICARO dealer. model, size and serial number.
Page 12 Any repairs conducted should be identified. Any material or production related problems should be clearly indicated. A copy of your 1. safety - inspection report must be sent to ICARO headquarters for quality control and gua- performed in accordance with manufacturers rules rantee purposes.
