1. GENERAL
INFORMA TION

1.1 Operating limits

Cima PWR is a very strong paraglider and flying all the usual
SIV manoeuvres will not normally pose a structural problem.
However, frequent extreme manoeuvres training can accelerate
the ageing process dramatically, and Sky recommends having
wings that are often used for SIV-type manoeuvres subjected to
check-ups at shorter intervals than normally stipulated
Correct behaviour in relation to the environment
It is important that we as pilots behave in a responsible way
towards both the environment and the people sharing it with
us. We encourage you to treat nature with respect, to avoid
unnecessary noise, to never litter and to observe all local
regulations. Please also make sure to comply with legislation
regarding protected areas, privately owned property or hunting
areas – this ensures the least possible friction in relation to other
users of the great outdoors, to the benefit of both yourself and
the sport as a whole.
1.2 Pilot Profile
Cima PWR is suitable for beginner to intermediate pilots.
The predictable characteristics of CIMA PWR suit the
beginner. It offers simple inflation characteristics, whereby the
wing rises smoothly and steadily. CIMA PWR's high lift profile
allows for slow, short take offs with good climb rates. A smooth
and progressive, yet responsive flare, makes landing easily
controlable and manageable.
Cima PWR has a high level of passive safety.

1.5 Characteristics

Cima PWR is suitable for beginners and intermediates. It has a
high level of passive safety. We know that for the PPG pilot, the
take-off and landing phase are crucial and CIMA PWR's design
is such that launching and landing are both straight forward
and predictable. CIMA PWR's good sink/climb rate allow for
low take-off and landing speeds with good flair characteristics
and short take off distances.
Cima PWR is damped in both roll and pitch with a good
speed range making it ideal for relaxed cruising flights.
Skytex 38 fabric is used for both top and bottom surfaces.
Skytex was chosen for its excellent moisture repellent proper-
ties as well as for durability. Being moisture repellent means
that the gliders launch and flight characteristics are improved if
launching from dew laden grass as is so often the case for early
morning or late evening flights.
