For a safe landing, select a suitable platform of sufficient size without obstacles on or
‹
near it, and also assess the direction and strength of the wind.
‹
When landing, it is necessary to withstand the direction of flight against the wind.
‹
It is recommended to land with trimmers in a neutral position (all straps of Risers are the
same length from the main carbine).
In advance, take the necessary position in the suspension system and warn the passen-
‹
ger about the landing.
‹
On the final flight before touching it is recommended to keep the brakes released. If there
is some turbulence, for safety reasons, you can keep a slight pull on the brakes for better
control of the wing.
Avoid unnecessary retarding of the wing, as this can lead to excessive acceleration and
‹
landing with a dangerous vertical speed.
‹
At an altitude of about 1 meter, progressively and smoothly tighten the brakes to a suffi-
cient stroke so as to execute a soak ("pillow").
When landing in a strong wind, it is necessary, after touching, to douse the dome as
‹
quickly as possible - by fast and large tightening of the brakes or straps of the B-Risers.
Be ready to run to the wing.
‹
At the landing, do not allow the paraglider to overtake you and hit the ground with the
leading edge. This leads to a sharp increase in pressure in the dome and may cause dam-
age to it.
