    - Description of the pilot skills required for an EN D wing: For pilots trained in recovery techniques, who fly very actively, have The PEAK 5 has been submitted for the European EN and LTF significant experience of flying in turbulent conditions and who accept certification.

    Nitinol provides the highest level of protection against deformation, heat or breaks. The PEAK 5 flies efficiently. It enters thermals with sufficient speed to Structured Leading Edge (SLE) - the use of the SLE considerably centre in the lift and climbs progressively.

    Only they can address any doubts in a safe and professional way. The PEAK 5 can be flown with all current harness types, provided they can be adjusted to the settings stipulated in the certification.

    Once you have chosen the type of speed-bar you prefer, stipulated in its certification. you must install it. Some considerations: The PEAK 5 includes a speed system with maximum travel depending on • You should use the type of speed-bar you consider appropriate, its size (see below).
  • Page 9: Inspection And Wing Inflation On The Ground

    When changing the brake length, it is necessary to check that they do In all Niviuk gliders the speed system cords on the risers are completely not engage when the speed-bar is used. When we accelerate, the glider removable and easily replaceable.

    The PEAK 5 lands excellently, it converts the wing speed into lift at your vary.

    Asymmetric collapse this situation other than quickly restoring the wing’s default air speed In spite of the PEAK 5’s profile stability, strong turbulent air may cause the and angle of attack by progressively reducing the tension on the brake wing to collapse asymmetrically, especially if you do not fly actively and lines.

    The PEAK 5 was designed to recover by itself in most cases. Do not try To resume normal flight conditions, progressively and symmetrically to over-correct it! release the brake line tension to regain air speed.

    The intensity of the turn can be controlled by braking slightly using the outer brake handle. The PEAK 5 does not experience any problem whilst being towed.

    Inspections The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed. If they become The PEAK 5 must be periodically serviced. An inspection must be dirty, clean them with a soft damp cloth, using only water. Do not use scheduled every 100 flying hours or every two years whichever comes detergents or other chemicals.

    Any modification of the paraglider or its components invalidates the guarantee and its certification. The following are not considered to be modifications: a) replacement of damaged parts b)trim correction c)repairs d) partial or total line replacement.
