4. Technical Data

5. RISE characteristics

The RISE is perfectly suited for the progressing pilot who has experience with a basic glider and
is looking for a wing with more performance and agility.
The RISE is also an ideal glider for those pilots stepping back from higher rated wings who want
performance with greater passive safety.
The RISE is designed and developed for an optimal balance of performance, safety and fun.
This makes the RISE ideal for pilots wanting to make long cross-country flights.
The RISE is a performance wing in the intermediate class and as such it is not suitable for
training or for beginners.
The RISE is aimed at pilots who have a good experience level and are accustomed to 'active'
flying. The pilot should be experienced enough to fly in turbulent (thermic) conditions with
good control for the wing.
LTF and EN certification
The AIRDESIGN RISE is certified during official testing as LTF and EN 'B'.
Pilots' aptitude

Each pilot should be able to act on his own responsibility.

Each pilot flying under their own responsibility, must be able to judge if they are able
to cope successfully with the particular flying conditions during a flight.

Even with the best and safest equipment, a wrong decision can lead to serious injury.
It is the pilot's obligation to avoid such misjudgements by progressing through
structured theoretical and practical training.

It is the pilots' obligation to use suitable protective gear and to maintain the
airworthiness of their equipment.
