Ozone ZENO 2 - LIMITATIONS; Pilot Ability; Total Weight in flight; SIV

LIMITATIONS
05
Pilot Ability
The Zeno 2 has been designed as a solo high performance XC/competition wing and is suitable
for experienced pilots only. It is NOT suitable for beginner or intermediate pilots, aerobatic
manoeuvres, training or tandem ights. To be own safely, the Zeno 2 requires a high level of
piloting skills, pilots are expected to have the necessary active ying skills and quick reaction
times to keep a high aspect ratio wing open in turbulent air. We also expect an in-depth
knowledge of SIV, preferably with recent, direct experience of a high aspect ratio wing.
Total Weight in flight
Each Ozone glider has been designed and certied for a dened weight range. We strongly
recommend that you respect these weight ranges. If you are between sizes the following
information may help you make a decision as to which size to buy:
• For the most precise and dynamic handling or if you generally y in mountains and/or in
strong conditions, you should chose to y near the top part of the weight range.
• If you want a better sink rate, or if you generally y in at lands and/or in weaker
conditions, you may choose to y nearer the middle part of the weight range. Remember,
you can always add ballast when conditions are stronger.
• It is not recommended to y at the very bottom of the weight range.
SIV
As a thoroughbred high performance machine, we do not recommend to use the Zeno 2 for
SIV training. It was certied with the use of collapse lines, therefore induced collapses cannot
be performed correctly, or safely without them. We strongly recommend to not perform
collapses, this is not the wing with which to learn these skills.
If you must use it for SIV it is better to work on your stall control. Ensure you fully understand
the correct and safe use of this equipment before attempting SIV and only do so under expert
tuition over water with all the necessary safety precautions in place.
IMPORTANT

collapses cannot be
