Page 13: End Of The Flight
Towing The LEAF2 wing can be towed up. Fly only with certified gear operated by qualified personal and only after taking a towing clinic. The towing force must correspond to the weight of the equipment, and the pulling sequence can only start when the wing is fully inflated and stable over the pilot's head. - Page 14 Glider user's manual | LEAF2 Easy on the caps The following techniques should only be used in emergencies and require prior training to be safely conducted. Appropriate analysis and anticipation of the conditions will often prevent the need to use fast descent techniques. We will advise you to practice in still air and preferably above water.

Page 15: Fast Descents
To prevent stressing we do not recommend combining spiral dives with "Ears". Conforming to the EN A, the LEAF2 glider does not show any tendency to stay in a locked spiral configuration and will return by itself to a normal flying angle in less than two full rotations when the toggles/brakes are brought back up. -
