Certification - Advance Bibeta Manuel D'utilisation

Certification
The BIBETA 4 has been awarded LTF 1-2 and EN C for both sizes in
both un-accelerated and accelerated flight. The certification reports
can be downloaded from www.advance.ch.
Certification ratings can only provide limited information about a
paraglider's flying behaviour in thermally active and turbulent air. The
certification is based primarily on provoked extreme flight manoeu-
vres in non-turbulent air.
During the development of an ADVANCE paraglider, the emphasis is
first and foremost on flying behaviour and handling and not exclu-
sively on the certification test. The result is a well-rounded product
with the familiar ADVANCE handling. Nevertheless, certification rating
occupies a significant proportion of the specifications that have to be
met.
