Flying; Launching; Preparation - Team 5 GREEN Betriebsanleitung

FLYING

This manual only covers basic and product-specific aspects of flying technique. It cannot and
should not replace thorough flight training by an authorized paragliding school! Such training is
an essential prerequisite for safely piloting a paraglider and – of course - this is also the case for
flying the GREEN.

LAUNCHING

PREPARATION

Choosing an appropriate, obstacle-free launch site is an important factor for a safe and successful
launch. The site should be wide enough to allow plenty of clearance for the initial run in headwind
and the possibility of aborting the launch.
First, the GREEN is pulled out of its protective packing and laid out. Cell openings should be fac-
ing up and form a clear arc or crescent so that all lines create an even pull on the canopy upon
launching. The lines are now sorted according to line groups, starting down at the brake along the
D, C- and B-lines and from there up to the A-lines on top.
The special geometry of the lines (which gives low drag) calls for special care when separating line
attachment points (bifurcations). Otherwise you will run the risk of line entanglements and knots.
You must make sure that the riser is not twisted and not looped through itself. Lines of different
groups may not be tangled up with one another and lines of the same group should not be twisted:
The outer lines of the canopy are also hooked up to the outside of the line link.
