Page 4: Foreword
The small size of the SITTA and thereby the high wing loading make certain demands for the pilot. The glider is very predictable in its reactions but sometimes it requires fast and sensitive brake inputs. - Page 5 Our products are made with great care and state of the art. Each paraglider before it is delivered to the dealer or flight school is checked by ICARO paragliders but test flights are made only on a random basis. On that score an approved ICARO dealer or teacher of the flight school must inflate a new ICARO paraglider in the wind or should carry out the first flight before the wing is handed over to you.

Lines SITTA is a hybrid 3- line glider. Depending on the line level, we use different line diameters. The end control of all line lengths is documented for all paragliders produced by ICARO paragliders. The length of all lines is set correctly at the factory and should not be changed.

Page 9: Flying With The Sitta
Flying with the SITTA Harness The SITTA is certified for use with harnesses GH type and light weight harnesses (Attention to a corresponding protection Practically all modern harnesses are GH type harnesses. Older harnesses with fixed cross belts (GX type) are not certified and should not be used. ICARO does not recommend XC or competition harnesses for flying this glider model. -
Page 10: Flight Preparation
With the chest strap in a more closed position the glider also has more tendency to maintain a stable spiral, lengthening of the chest strap gives more feedback from the glider but decreases stability. ICARO paragliders recommends following settings: Take-off weight < 80kg 80 kg -100 kg >... -
Page 11: Active Flying
Page 11 When there is no pull from the lines use slight pressure on the brake. After a few accelerating steps and at the same time let go of the brakes gently, you will take off. Then use slight pressure again on the brakes to fly at a speed with minimal sink rate. -
Page 12: Turning
In this case you have to release the brake line! Landing The SITTA is faster than gliders with normal sizes but also easy to land. Always stand up in the harness in the landing position very early in order to be able to react as fast as possible to sudden events. -
Page 13: B-Line-Stall
When entering a spiral dive keep the brake on the outer curve released. Spiral dive with the SITTA must be finished actively! Bring your weight into a neutral position, release the brakes of the inner curve side and brake gently on the outer curve side until you notice that the wing starts to level out. -
Page 14: Wingover
Page 14 Wingover The SITTA is a very 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 15: Symmetric Collapse
If the collapsed part of the canopy is very big, you have to break the open side very dosed (not too much!) to avoid a stall. Symmetric Collapse Your SITTA 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. -

• Flying all the descent exercise will not normally pose a structural problem but aerobatic training does accelerate the ageing process dramatically. • There is no special method packing your glider.

Page 17: Repairs
Inspection It is important to have your SITTA inspected by a trained ICARO technician but it is also allowed to check your glider for yourself. In the annex you find the regulations for checks of certified gliders and items in order to perform a paraglider inspection you need. - Page 18 Page 18 CHANGING THE LINES IS ALLOWED ONLY ACCORDANCE WITH DESCRIPTION (PICTURES). WRONG CHANGING IS VERY DANGEROUS!! BEFORE PULL NEOPRENE BACK OVER THE LOOP CHECK AGAIN LOOP CLOSED CORRECTLY. PAY ATTENTION: SHOULD THE LOOP BE FIXED WRONG, SAFETY IS NO LONGER GIVEN! THE LINE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE LOOP!
