Page 6: To Get To Know Your Pandion
Check interval depending on what occurs sooner. The PANDION is a single-seater with good passive safety, and forgiving flight behavior as well as some resistance to abnormal flight conditions, making it suitable for pilots who have regular flight practice and advanced flight skills. - Page 7 The PANDION is delivered from the factory with the best brake position for most pilots. But tall or short pilots, or those with a harness with non- standard attachment points might consider it necessary to change the position of the brake handles.
- Page 8 Page 8 Risers The glider has 3 fold risers with separated A-risers and acceleration system which will be activated with a foot bar The risers are signified. The handle of the main brake line is mounted on the C- riser. The acceleration system is mounted on the A- riser.

Page 10: Launch
Page 10 Launch The most important thing during the take-off is, like at all other gliders too, not the force but the constancy of the pull. At the start advice to fix the accelerator with the Velcro which is attached at the front of the sitting board, in order to avoid tripping while pulling up the glider or when starting up. -
Page 11: Flying With Accellerator
Page 11 Flying with accellerator When using the accelerator, be careful. The accelerator should be employed, in order to compensate for high angles of attack and the associated potential risk of a stall. Do not step too quickly because your glider will dive down from the strong change in angle of attack. -
Page 12: B-Line-Stall
The PANDION will start to turn, and then drop into a spiral. In the spiral dive an uncontrolled acceleration of the canopy must be prevented. -
Page 13: Wingover
Page 13 Wingover The PANDION is an agile glider, and it is quite easy to get to an excessively high angle of bank in just a few turns. Practice wingovers gently at first, as there is a chance of quite large collapses at high bank angles. -
Page 14: Symmetric Collapse
Page 14 Symmetric Collapse Your PANDION normally re-inflates promptly in a symmetric collapse without pilot input. Applying the brakes symmetrically will speed things up. Emergency Steering Should it no longer be possible to steer your glider, for example due to a broken line, the glider may be steered by gently pulling on either rear riser. -

Page 16: Repairs
Damage to the lines or any other repairs should only be carried out at an authorized ICARO center. If your glider needs to be repaired, please contact your local ICARO paragliders dealer. Inspection It is important to have your glider inspected by a trained ICARO technician but it is also allowed to check your glider for yourself. -
