  • Page 7: Certification

    > certification The ARIAL is a paraglider of an intermediate level that has passed easily the tests of the DHV level 1. 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 recom- mend the use of back protection, helmet WindSOS reserve. Windtech -- launch Choose an open space free of any obsta- cles, 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 a better, safer pilot in the air & this will also help you to understand the dynamics of a techniques.

  • Page 10: Asymmetric Tuck

    better to under-react than to over-react. Over reacting to a situation can prevent the glider from self-recovering, and recovering air speed, and cause it to enter further unsta- ble situations. -- 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.

  • Page 11: Asymmetric Stall (Spin)

    recovery. Do not brake when the glider is behind you, as this can stall the wing, but wait for the glider to come forwards above your head, then brake. -- asymmetric stall (spin) This is a very difficult situation for the pilot to provoke with the ARIAL, given it's very low stall speed, you have to really abuse the controls a lot to manage it.

    leading edge it is possible to burst the inner cells and walls of the wing and you should carefully examine the wing for any damage to the joining of the ribs to the cells. > weather to fly you should check the weather forecast & always ask more experienced pilots about the If in doubt about the weather and flying conditions, do not launch! Before going flying conditions expected for the day.

    one brake harder and harder and weight shifting into the turn. Pull more inside brake, and 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.

  • 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.
