A pre-flight inspection is mandatory for flight safety . You must ensure that your
aircraft is neither damaged or snagged. Do not forget, a pre-flight also involves
inspection of your harness, reserve, other associated gear
characteristics, weather, surroundings and your personal state of
mind.
Particular attention should be paid on each pre- flight check to the tightness of the
quick links that connect the lines to the risers, and risers to the harness .
Laying the wing out in a gentle arc or horseshoe shape is the most suitable starting
position, enabling an even inflation, starting from the center.
It is essential to ensure that the lines are cleared and tidy without risk of snagging
plants, rocks or other debris; are free of local knots; and are not draped over the
wing or harness. Failure to ensure cleared lines or produce an even inflation during
the take-off phase can have disasterous consequences.
The forward, or alpine launch involves carefully setting up directly into the wind.
Prepare for launch by holding the front (or A) risers and brake handles, then
stepping forward to gently feel tension in the A-lines and chest strap. The action of
the hands on the front risers will be a simple guide of applying a light pull.
Excessive effot would result in partially closure of cells openings.
For moderate winds (greater 1 0 km / h), it is advisable to use the reverse launch
method. A deliberate pull on the front (or A) risers (red color) causes the wing to
easily rise above the pilot. The canopy inflates from the center equally and evenly.
DIAMIR
The does not tend to overshoot and quickly stabilizes above his head,
but it may be necessary to move towards the wing as it rises overhead. Once
overhead, take a moment to perform a final check of the wing and the lines before
the actual launch. A slight run forward with moderate pressure on the brakes
facilitates takeoff.
