Aerobatics

Caution: The DG-1000S is a high performance sailplane. Therefore the speed
increase in the dive, especially in inverted flight is high.
Training aerobatics therefore should only be executed after a rating with an
experienced pilot, or if you can master the manoeuvres on other sailplane types.
In any case don't try to execute the manoeuvres with entry speeds other than
those listed.
Caution: Do not make full or abrupt control movement above the manoeuvring
speed V =185 km/h (100 kts.). At speeds between V
A
(146 kts.) reduce the control movements accordingly. At V
max. control movements are allowed.
