Page 5: Required Piloting Skills
Required piloting General remarks skills about paragliding The AROLLA 3 is a paraglider with maximum passive safety Paragliding is a risky sport ; a careful practise is therefore and extremely forgiving flying characteristics. It proves to highly advisable. show good resistance to departures from normal flight. -
Page 6: Limits Of Use
Limits of use The AROLLA 3 paragliders are certified for solo free flight The behaviour of the AROLLA 3 when used on the winch or only. Weather and thermal conditions must remain with an engine (paramotor) is not part of the certification suitable for paragliding at any time and the very skills of according to the EN 926-2: 2013 standard. -
Page 7: Operating The Arolla 3
The AROLLA 3 will inflate rapidly and rise over your head. Check of the rapid links: check that all the rapid links are screwed tight. -
Page 8: Landing
Negative steering (see above) slows the paraglider in Due to the fine glide and lift of AROLLA 3, caution is certain phases of flight and consequently reduces recommended during approach and landing. -
Page 9: Rapid Descent Techniques
Rapid descent techniques As a general rule, in order to descend, fly away from areas As soon as the risers are released, the paraglider should of lift. If, for whatever reason, you are taken unawares by spontaneously reopen. However, you can speed up the the development of conditions, you may consider using the reopening by „pumping“... -
Page 10: Spiral Dive
CAUTION! Spiral dive A deep spiral is a radical manoeuvre. The kinetic energy AROLLA 3 is a manoeuvrable wing that responds to pilot generated must be dissipated by slowly releasing the inside input precisely and progressively. brake throughout, at least, one whole revolution. -
Page 11: B-Line Stall
To exit the B-line stall raise both hands together in a single, positive movement so that the risers are at normal full extension again. On releasing the B-risers, your AROLLA 3 should return immediately to normal flight. An adjustment error, control error or certain aerological conditions may lead to a prolonged deep stall phase. -
Page 12: Asymmetric Or Frontal (Symmetric) Collapses
Asymmetric or frontal (symmetric) collapses Despite tests showing that AROLLA 3 recovers spontaneously after collapses, active piloting is recommended in the event of an asymmetric or frontal collapse. Active piloting will reduce the loss of altitude and a change of direction. -
Page 13: Full Stall
Full stall Certain pilot behaviour or weather conditions can cause a sudden thermal may change the angle of incidence full stall. This is a serious deviation from normal flight and enough to cause the deep stall. can be difficult to manage. If a stall occurs at less than 100 If you find yourself flying in unavoidable rain we strongly m above the ground, throw your reserve parachute recommend that you avoid any sudden movements or... -
Page 14: Steering Without Brakes
Steering without brakes If a brake line or pulley breaks it is possible to steer AROLLA Special steering 3 using the D-risers (rear risers). No other maneuver or steering technique is The movements should be finely controlled as the recommended. deformation of the wing due to the traction on the D-risers is greater than that produced by using the brakes. -
Page 15: Performance & Use Of Brakes
Performance & use of brakes AROLLA 3’s best glide is at trim speed (no brakes) – about 36-37 km/h. The minimum sink rate is achieved by applying approx. 15% brake. When using more than 30% brake the aerodynamics and the performance of the glider deteriorate and the brake pressure increases rapidly. -
Page 16: Use Of Speed Bar
Use of speed bar Your AROLLA 3 is equipped with a highly efficient speed Use of the speed system does reduce the angle of attack system. For fitting and positioning of the accelerator and there is therefore an increased risk of a frontal or system and speed bar, consult the instructions provided by asymmetric collapse. -
Page 17: Harness Adjustment
A looser setting may result in a tendency to fall towards the collapsed side. AROLLA 3 XXS 39-42 cm 38-42 cm AROLLA 3 XS 39-43 cm 39-44 cm Lower hang-points reduce the roll-stability of your harness and can slow down reopening of asymmetric collapses. -
Page 18: Advice On Maintenance
AROLLA 3 is fitted with debris release slots at the wing tips. Debris can be shaken from the closed cells through to the wing tip and the release slot opened to remove particles. Check that you reseal the debris release slot when completed. -
Page 19: Storage And Transport
Storage and transport Store your loosely packed glider in a cool (10-25°C) and dry (< 60% humidity) place. Hot car boots or damp basements lead to damaging of the cloth. A paraglider should always be dry when packed, but this is particularly important after the last flight of the season. -
Page 20: Check
100 flight hours whichever is sooner and anytime there is a noticeable change in its behaviour. The checks must be done by Mcc Aviation in Grandvaux or by an authorised representative. For those pilots who understand that a perfectly trimmed paraglider performs better, we do advise a yearly checking and tuning of the geometry of the lines. -
Page 21: Paragliding And Nature Conservation
Paragliding and nature conservation Being a good pilot is not only knowing how to take-off, land and fly long distances, it is also being conscious about the beautiful natural surrounding and behaving in a way that helps to protect the environment. Take only pictures and memories and leave at most footprints. -
