Pilot Requirements; General Advice About Paragliding - Advance Epsilon 6 Betriebshandbuch

Pilot requirements

The EPSILON 6 is best suited to the typical intermediate leisure pilot
who regularly flies in thermal conditions. He will already have a com-
petent, active flying style, can recognise an approaching collapse,
and knows how to prevent it without overreacting. From this starting
point thermalling with the EPSILON 6 will mean perfect pleasure.
Thanks to its large degree of safety the EPSILON 6 can also be flown
by the talented, advanced student.

General advice about paragliding

Flying a paraglider calls for appropriate training and a sound knowl-
edge of the subject, as well as, of course, the necessary insurance
cover and licence. A pilot must be able to correctly assess the weather
conditions before taking off. His or her capabilities must be adequate
for the actual paraglider.
Wearing an adequate helmet, suitable boots and clothing, and
carrying an emergency parachute are essential. Before every flight
all items of equipment should be checked for damage and airworthi-
ness. A proper pre-takeoff check must also be carried out.
Every pilot bears sole responsibility for his or her participation in
the sport of paragliding. Neither the manufacturer nor the seller of a
paraglider can guarantee or be held responsible for the pilot's safety.
