SHOULD YOU HAVE A COLLAPSE, RELEASE THE SPEED SYSTEM IMMEDI-
ATELY, TO ENABLE THE GLIDER TO RETURN TO STANDARD TRIM AND
THEN RECOVER WITH CORRECT PILOT INPUT AS IN A NORMAL COL-
LAPSE.
DO NOT USE THE SPEEDSYSTEM IN ANY EXTREME MANOEUVRES!

Landing:

The NOVA AERON is easy to land. The final leg of the landing approach must be
into the wind. During this final glide the paraglider should be decelerated slowly
and at approximately one meter above the ground, according to conditions, the
pilot should "flare" the canopy. The glider may climb again, gaining height, if too
much brake is used too early.
Strong wind landings require little brake. Do not apply full brake before the pilot is
safely on the ground.
The final glide during the landing approach should be straight and not marked by
steep or alternating turns as these can result in a dangerous pendulum effect near
the ground.

Towing:

The NOVA AERON has no special towing characteristics, although a relatively low
angle of attack and thus low tow tension should be maintained during launch and
the initial part of the tow.

Motored Flight / Aerobatics:

Contact the manufacturer or importer for the current legality of motorized flight.
The NOVA AERON is not designed to be used for aerobatics.

Extreme Flying Manoeuvres:

Collapse:

A negative angle of attack will cause the NOVA AERON to collapse (e.g. in turbu-
lent air).
If one wing tucks, straight flight should be maintained by "correcting for direction" -
braking gently on the inflated side.
