Welcome to the world of free flying : a shared world of passion. The EONA wing is a glider meeting all the students and instructors requirements. It was designed for both intensive schooling and private use while providing great inflight comfort all along the pilot's progression curve. The well though out design and choice of materials were guided by the same quality and longevity objectives. - Page 5 EONA glider user’s manual Technical data Glider EONA Cell number Flat surface area (m²) 26.5 29.45 Span (m) 10.51 11.28 11.89 Chord (m) 2.48 2.66 2.86 3.01 Flat Aspect Ratio Projected surface area (m²) 16.98 19.53 22.50 25.00 Projected span (m) 7.71...

Page 9: Pre-Flight Preparation

Page 10: Take-Off
EONA glider user’s manual Take-off The design team has strived to produce a wing with optimum inflating abilities in all flyable conditions. Whether it be in light or high winds you will enjoy its docile behavior while launching. However before the first flight, practice ground-handling to become familiar with your new glider. - Page 11 Using the accelerator/speedbar. According to the EN A norm, the EONA glider was designed to be stable throughout its speed range. Accelerated, the wing becomes more sensitive to turbulence. If you sense a glider internal pressure decrease while pushing on the accelerator;...

Page 12: End Of The Flight
Towing The EONA 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 13: Fast Descents
EONA glider user’s manual FAST DESCENTS 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 14 To prevent stressing we do not recommend combining spiral dives with "Ears". Conforming to the EN A, the EONA 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.

Page 15: Flight Incidents
EONA glider user’s manual Flight incidents Asymmetric collapses Any paraglider may occasionally collapse due to turbulence or a piloting error. In the event of an asymmetric collapse your priority must be to stay clear of the terrain and regain level flight. It is done by via of weight shifting toward the open side and if necessary, support the action by applying an appropriate amount of brake on the same side. -
