Ozone Swift Six Pilot's Manual page 7

Total Weight in flight
Each Ozone glider has been designed and certified for a defined weight range. We strongly recommend
that you respect these weight ranges. If you are between sizes the following information may help you
make a decision as to which size to buy:
• For the most precise and dynamic handling or if you generally fly in mountains and/or in strong
conditions, you should chose to fly in the top part of the weight range.
• If you want a better sink rate, or if you generally fly in flat lands and/or in weak conditions, you may
choose to fly nearer the middle part of the weight range. Remember, you can always add ballast when
conditions are stronger.
• It is not recommended to fly at the very bottom of the weight range.
Towing
The Swift 6 may be tow-launched. It is the pilot's responsibility to use suitable harness attachments and
release mechanisms and to ensure that they are correctly trained on the equipment and system employed.
All tow pilots should be qualified to tow, use a qualified tow operator with proper, certified equipment,
and make sure all towing regulations are observed. When towing you must be certain that the paraglider
is completely over your head before you start. In each case the maximum tow force needs to correspond
to the body weight of the pilot.
Limitations
The Swift 6 has been designed as a solo sports performance XC wing and is not intended for beginner
pilots, tandem flights or aerobatic manoeuvres. The Swift 6 shows no unusual flying characteristics, turns
are smooth and coordinated and it remains solid and well pressured throughout the accelerated speed
range. It has a very high resistance to both collapses and stalls. However, it is a sport intermediate XC
wing and is therefore only suitable for experienced pilots who fly approximately 50hrs per year and who
have SIV experience.
The Swift 6 was certified without the use of collapse lines.
