  • Page 7: Certification

    > certification The PULSAR is a paraglider of an intermediate level that has passed easily the tests of the DHV level 1-2. This glider has successfully passed the DHV shock test with a weight equal to the maximum total (all up) take-off weight. This means that the paraglider is certified to resist to a load of 8 (eight) times the gravitational acceleration (8 G´s).

    38 cm between karabiners. For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and WindSOS reserve. Windtech > launch Choose an open space free of any obs- tacles, especially trees and power lines.

  • Page 9: Thermal Flying

    There are many reverse launch methods/techniques which the pilot can learn. To progress well with your flying, and to be a good pilot, it is necessary to master at least one of the techniques. If you can achieve 100% control your glider on the ground then you will be a better, safer pilot in the air &...

  • Page 10: Asymmetric Tuck

    > asymmetrical tuck/collapse An asymmetric tuck / collapse is when part (one side) of the wing ( say 20% or even any- thing up to 90% of the span) tucks or collapses, usually induced by turbulence but some- times also though poor pilot control in turns and wing-overs. The PULSAR is tested and certified to automatically recover without correction by the pilot with a maximum direction change of 90 degrees of turn, but with the correct input the pilot can minimise any turning, and height loss, and help the glider recover more...

  • Page 11: Asymmetric Stall (Spin)

    > asymmetric stall (spin) This is a very difficult situation for the pilot to provoke with the PULSAR, given it's very low stall speed, you have to really abuse the controls a lot to manage it. Even so, this situation can be induced if, say, the pilot is turning very slowly in a thermal (near the stall point), and wants to tighten the turn even more, and at the same time as smoothly lif- ting the outside brake (which is the correct thing to do), if the pilot simultaneously bra- kes more on the inside brake, this may stall the inside wing which will then go into spin.

  • Page 12: Weather To Fly

    > weather to fly If in doubt about the weather and flying conditions, do not launch! Before going flying you should check the weather forecast & always ask more experienced pilots about the conditions expected for the day. Never fly if the weather conditions are unsuitable, espe- cially with any of the following present or even threatening: Strong wind;...
  • Page 13 weight shift harder, for a faster spiral dive. Ease off on the inside brake, and weight-shift less hard, to regain level flight. Like this, the pilot can control the bank angle and the sink rate of the glider in the Spiral dive. Always remember that whilst in the Spiral dive you are drifting with the wind, and it is very easy to become disorientated.

  • Page 14: Maintenance

    We strongly recommend you to have a full inspection of the paraglider by Windtech the distributor at least once a year. Besides this you should check periodically the lines, cloth and stitching.
