Description of pilot skills required
Target group and recommended flying experience
For all pilots, including training pilots of all levels. For thermal flyers and cross country pilots who have
regular flying practice (a minimum of 20-30 hours airtime per year) and advanced flying knowledge.
Normal flight requirements
The flight- and control behaviour of paragliders of this class requires an e
ff
ective active flying style
with precise and sensitive control inputs.
Requirements for incidents and quick descents
The behaviour of the glider after disturbances poses increased demands on the currency and
reaction speed of the pilot. The pilot should have su
ffi
cient practical knowledge to avoid and control
the most common disturbances, especially side and front collapses.
Flight maneuvers, such as a steep spiral or a B-stall, make higher demands on the pilot due to the
overall more demanding handling behaviour. These maneuvers should only be attempted where the
pilot has good practical knowledge.
If the pilot is insu
ffi
ciently experienced, a safety training session is recommended.
Manufacturing and delivery
All GIN gliders are produced in the company's own facilities using the most modern techniques.
Highly skilled sta
ff
take extreme care during the entire manufacturing process. Stringent quality
control is made after each step, and all materials that go into each wing can be traced. These
measures guarantee that pilots fly with the assurance that their wing meets the most exacting safety
standards.
Your glider will be delivered to you with the original trim settings which correspond to the tested
configuration. Do not make any modifications, such as changing the risers or altering the line lengths.
This would invalidate the certification and is potentially dangerous.
