Boarding

5.6.1

General


When flown solo, the aircraft must be flown from the front seat only !

A protective helmet must always be worn, fit correctly and secured. A positive lock must be fitted
to the visor and be engaged during flight.

Check that neither pilot nor passenger has any objects that can fall out of their pockets.

Ensure articles of clothing, such as gloves, scarves, glasses/sun-glasses, as well as cameras, maps,
knee boards, portable navigation instruments etc. are secured, no loose objects in the cockpit !

Any loose object is likely to pass through the propeller arc, destroy the propeller or/and throw
debris through the sail and seriously threaten the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

Occupants with long hair, particularly in the back seat, must have it tied up to ensure that it cannot
reach moving or hot parts of the engine.

Pilot in the Front Seat

When flying solo, the aircraft may only be piloted from the front seat!
Get on board from the left-hand side of the trike. The pilot should step over the lower

recommended to exit the trike.

of the trike by placing his left foot on the rear gear strut and holding the upper strut with
the right hand.

Start-up

Rotating propellers are almost invisible and can cause injury or death. Ensure that
all spectators/children/pets are kept well clear of the propeller arc. On certain
surfaces, stones can bounce into the propeller blades and become projectiles. Do
not start an engine if any loose stones are in the vicinity of the aircraft with any
spectators present at all.
1. The ultralight has to be in a secure zone; make sure it is facing an unobstructed place while taking
into account the effect of the blast of the propeller upon the surroundings.
Fill the fuel tank (please refer to the engine user's manual for fuel details). The gauge is located on
2.
the right at the front of the tank.
