Page 5: To Get To Know Your Pica 2
Check interval depending on what occurs sooner. PICA 2 is a single-seated paraglider. The PICA 2 has good resistance to abnormal flight conditions and is suitable for pilots of all training levels who place value on the highest possible level of passive device safety. For pilots with less than 15 to 20 flight hours per... - Page 6 The PICA 2 in sizes S, M, ML and L is registered by the Direction générale de l'aviation civile (DGAC) and approved as a motorized paraglider. You can find additional information about flying with a motor under a separate article.
- Page 7 If you are not sure or have any questions, please contact your dealer. The PICA 2 is delivered from the factory with the best brake position for most pilots. But tall or short pilots, or those with a harness with non-standard attachment points might consider it necessary to change the position of the brake handles.

Flying with the PICA 2 Harness The PICA 2 is certified for use with harnesses GH type. Practically all modern harnesses are GH type harnesses. Older harnesses with fixed cross belts (GX type) are not certified and should not be used. -
Page 9: Flight Preparation
Page 9 Flight preparation • When choosing an area to lay out the glider before launching, try to find somewhere that is relatively free of stones and sharp rocks. Pay particular attention to the top surface, where the canopy touches the ground. •... -
Page 10: Active Flying
Page 10 on the wing ends. This ensures an even easier start. Use progressive pressure on the A risers and the energy of our own bodies weight until the wing is fully inflated overhead. The canopy is inflated quickly due to the super short lines. When there is no pull from the lines and the wing is overhead, use slight pressure on the brake. -
Page 11: Flying With Accelerator
Page 11 Any change in the angle of attack immediately transfers in to a change in the control pressure of the brakes. The control pressure presents the pilot with immediate information on the angle of attack and on what the canopy is doing or about to do. Flying with accelerator When using the accelerator, be careful. -
Page 12: Descent Techniques
To initiate a spiral dive, look in the direction you want to go, roll your body weight in that direction and at the same time smoothly pull down on the inside brake. The PICA 2 will start to turn, and then drop into a spiral. Version 2 / PPG / 2022... -
Page 13: Wingover
Wingover The PICA 2 is an agile glider, and it is quite easy to get to an excessively high angle of bank in just a few turns. Practice wingovers gently at first, as there is a chance of quite large collapses at high bank angles. -
Page 14: Asymmetric Collapse
If the collapsed part of the canopy is very big, you have to brake the open side very dosed (not too much!) to avoid a stall. Symmetric Collapse Your PICA 2 normally re-inflates promptly in a symmetric collapse without pilot input. Applying the brakes symmetrically will speed things up. Emergency Steering Should it no longer be possible to steer your glider, for example due to a broken line, the glider may be steered by gently pulling on either rear riser. -
Page 15: Flying With Motor (Ppg)
There is a possibility of the pilot landing in or entangling in the glider. Flying with motor (PPG) In this appendix to the PICA 2 manual, you will find all relevant information about flying with a motor. This supplements the 3 chapters • "Flying with the PICA 2", •... - Page 16 Page 16 4. Then open the line locks A2, B and C in the following order, take the respective lines out of the line lock and put them into the respective line lock of the motor riser; Attention: pay attention to the order!!!!!! 5.
- Page 17 If you fly the PICA 2 in the weight range for powered flight, it also has an increased trim speed. The associated higher take-off and landing speed is particularly noticeable when there is little wind.
- Page 18 For powered flight, sizes S, M, ML and L have been registered by the French DGAC (Direction générale de l'aviation civile). The EN / LTF type test of the PICA 2 is only upright for the flight without a motor with the motor risers if the glider is attached to the lower attachment point and the trimmers are closed (The risers A, A1, B and C must be the same length).

Page 19: Care Instructions, Repairs, Inspection
• Flying all the descent or acrobatic exercises will not normally pose a structural problem but freestyle training accelerates the ageing process dramatically. • There is no special method packing your glider. ICARO paragliders commends the “Cell to Cell-method bag because the reinforcements of the leading edge stay flex-free on top of each other and do not fold. -
Page 20: Repairs
Damage to the lines or any other repairs should only be carried out at an authorized ICARO center. If your glider needs to be repaired, please contact your local ICARO paragliders dealer. Inspection It is important to have your glider inspected by a trained ICARO technician, but it is also allowed to check your glider for yourself. -
