  • Page 6: Technical Description

    The Pasha 7 is a blend of proven Nylon fabrics from Porcher Sport - Skytex 38 and Skytex 32. Like any synthetic material, this can deteriorate through excessive exposure to UV.
  • Page 7 Each of the riser sets of the Pasha 7 has a lockable trimmer. The trim system shortens and lengthens the B, C and D risers and changes the angle of attack. In neutral position of normal flight all risers have equal length 39 cm.

  • Page 9: Preparation

    Preparing for take-off As for any aircraft a thorough pre-flight check must be made prior to each flight on the Pasha 7! Before every launch check lines, risers and canopy for damage! Do not launch with even the slightest damage! Also check the quick links connecting the lines and the risers.

  • Page 10: Flying The Pasha 7

    FLYING THE PASHA 7 Pre-flight check Brand-new gliders must be flown in calm conditions at first. It is recommended to fly light spirals in both directions so that the handshake connections between the lines become tight up. Follow a consistent routine every time you fly. This is very important for safety. Having...
  • Page 11 Launching Your Pasha 7 will launch with either the forward or reverse technique. The wing should be laid out in a pronounced arc, with the centre of the wing higher than the tips. The trimmers should be adjusted to neutral position or 4 cm released in according to the wind and terrain.
  • Page 12 In a calm air the Pasha 7 can reach its minimum speed (depending on the wing loading) by application of 70 cm up to 75 cm of the brake range.
  • Page 13 Alternative (emergency) steering If for some reason it becomes impossible to control the Pasha 7 with the brake lines the outermost D-lines may be used to steer and land the canopy. Attention! Of course the range is much shorter (5 –...
  • Page 14 The Pasha 7 fulfils the EN spiral dive requirements and has no tendency to remain in a stable spiral dive under normal conditions. Note! The certification test flights are carried out with a defined carabiner distance.
  • Page 15 Pasha 7 has the cleat on the D-riser which makes it possible to fix the outer A-lines so they can be held in for an extended period. With big ears applied, the Pasha 7 can be steered using the brakes.
  • Page 16 The Pasha 7 is easy to land. The final leg of the landing approach must be into the wind. Adopt an upright position in your harness by sliding your legs forward, ready to make contact with the ground.

  • Page 17: Range Of Use

    Any type of acrobatic manoeuvre at all on the Pasha 7 is contrary to law and illegal. The pilot would be putting his/her and passenger life at risk. Acrobatics involves a risk of unpredictable flight attitudes, which could lead to damage to material and structural failure.

  • Page 18: Extreme Flying Manoeuvres

    The Pasha 7 is optimised for tandem paragliding and is intended only for experienced pilots who are able to demonstrate above-average experience and competence in safety training. The Pasha 7 is under no circumstances suitable for a pilot’s first experience with safety training.
  • Page 19 A cravat can generally be opened by a short, fast pull on the brake line of the cravat side. If not, on the Pasha 7, there is a separate stabilizer main line that goes down to the A riser. This line usually becomes slack in the event of a cravat. Pull this line down completely until it becomes tight and the cravat normally comes out.
  • Page 20 The paraglider sinks almost vertically at 4-5 m/s and there is noticeably less flight noise. The Pasha 7 has no tendency to get into a deep stall. Should this nevertheless occur, make sure your brakes are fully released, the glider will then normally recover on its own immediately.
  • Page 21 (directly overhead). This usually takes 3- 6 seconds. The Pasha 7 generally flies backwards during a full stall but doesn’t always form a front rosette. A frontal rosette can be formed by entering the full stall slowly. When entering (braking) fast, the canopy will not always form the desired front rosette.

  • Page 22: Looking After Your Paraglider

    Attention! The Pasha 7 is not designed to be used for aerobatics. Alternative (emergency) steering If for some reason it becomes impossible to control the Pasha 7 with the brake lines the outermost D-lines may be used to steer and land the canopy. Attention! Of course the range is much shorter (5-15 cm) than with the brakes.
  • Page 23 Nitinol wires keep their shape, it is important that you pack the glider correctly as described in the section “Packing the paraglider”. The Nitinol wires on the Pasha 7 can all be replaced through small pockets. If you notice that a Nitinol wires has been damaged or misshapen because of incorrect use, this can be replaced by MAC PARA or authorised workshops.
  • Page 24 Maintenance Identification label MAC PARA gliders have an identification label on central rib. It is helpful to provide the type designation of the paraglider if you are contacting your MAC PARA dealer with any queries or ordering replacement parts or accessories, to ensure accurate identification.
  • Page 25 Signs of wear are slight bumps or changes in flying characteristics. The lines must then be replaced immediately. Use only inspected and approved lines, which can be obtained through MAC PARA. Do not under any circumstances use knots to shorten the lines. Any knot will weaken the line considerably and may cause the line to break in case of high load.
  • Page 26 In Conclusion The Pasha 7 is a modern paraglider. You will enjoy many safe years of flying with your Pasha 7 if you look after it correctly and adopt a mature and responsible approach to the demands and dangers flying can pose.
