Landing; Tow Launching; Folding Away - Aeros Style 3 User Manual

Landing

Style-3 is easy to land. Plan your landing approach from a sufficient height, giving you enough time to
correct mistakes, if any. At the final leg you should go against the wind and with brakes slightly pulled
down from the trim position to avoid tucks. Fly at a higher speed when you are on your final approach.
Begin to apply brakes harder at 1-1.5m above the ground so that you pull full brakes just before touching
the ground. Stronger wind in the landing zone requires less brakes to be applied. When the wind is over
6-7 m/s, to deflate the canopy pull the D-lines when you touch the ground. Use of the brakes in strong
wind conditions can result in the pilot being lifted and dragged backwards. If you are draged back, be
ready to run after the paraglider. Before landing take the upright position in your harness. Be ready to do
a parachute roll, when necessary.
We wish you soft landings!

Tow launching

Aeros Style-3 can be tow launched by either an active or a passive winch. The paraglider is stable when
being pulled. For brake control keep in mind that the brakes are more loaded and the paraglider
responds slowly to control inputs. Braking range should be narrower than in the free flight. In case of
emergency release immediately.

Folding away

Spread your canopy on the surface with the bottom side facing upwards, place the lines over the canopy.
Put the front rib parts of the canopy together and secure them with the strap. S-fold the canopy along the
trailing edge into a 60-cm wide strip. Press the remaining air out of the canopy, moving from the trailing
edge to the leading edge. Fold the paraglider sufficiently to be able to put it into the packsack, secure it
with a strap and pack it into the packsack. While folding away, try to avoid folding the canopy along the
previous creases. Try to fold your wing as loosely as possible.
