    Additionally TWICE TE size S is homologated for single flying. Canopy The canopy of the TWICE TE is made of synthetic fabric with different strengths where a reinforced thread-net is woven in, which stops the fabric from further tearing and is increasing the firmness at the seams and has sticks made of NITINOL for an optimized geometry of the canopy.

  • Page 7: Flying With The Twice Te

    Flying with the TWICE TE Harness The TWICE TE is certified for use with harnesses GH type. Practically all modern harnesses are GH type harnesses. Older harnesses with fixed cross belts (GX type) are not certified and should not be used.

  • Page 8: Flight Preparation

    Active flying The TWICE TE has an extremely high stability. We advise you to apply the brakes at all times whilst flying in turbulences. You hereby increase the opening angle and the wing is more stable. At the same time the pilot has a better feeling for the canopy via the brakes.

  • Page 9: Turning

    If the brake lines are pulled too fast or too far the glider will be stalled!! Landing The TWICE TE is very 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 10: B-Line-Stall

    The TWICE TE will start to turn, speed up and then drop into a spiral. To keep the wing under control you must pull and release the inside brake Exit slowly. Bring your body weight back to a neutral position and as soon as the wing levels out, apply the brakes gently.

  • Page 11: What Happens When Happens

    Applying the brakes symmetrically will speed things up. Emergency Steering Should it no longer be possible to steer your TWICE TE, for example due to a broken line, the glider may be steered by gently pulling on either rear riser. We recommend for emergency control in the air to use the stabilo line.

  • Page 12: Negative Spin

    To exit a spin with your TWICE TE just do “hands up” to release the brakes and the glider will return to normal flight.

  • Page 13: Repairs

    ICARO paragliders cannot be held responsible for any mishaps caused by intentional after sales changes done to the wing. • The TWICE TE is a very strong paraglider. Flying all the descent exercise will not normally pose a structural problem but aerobatic training does accelerate the ageing process dramatically.
