3. Cercaon
All sizes of the Golden4 are cered EN B and LTF B.
The cercaon cercate on your Golden4 is found on a rib in the middle of the canopy.
Cercaon is valid for ABS type harnesses. This type of harness allows a certain degree
of adjustment to be made to the length of the chest strap. The recommended distance
between the karabiners is 46 cm to 49 cm.
In common with all other paragliders, when looser cross-bracing is used while ying the
Golden4, the pilot’s weight-shi control is greater. The glider is also more sensive to
movement in the surrounding air. When cross-bracing is ghter, the pilot feels subjecvely
more stable, but turning by weight-shi is praccally ineectual.
