Landings
We recommend you to select a landing site that you are familiar
with, as well as having no obstacle. Remember to build up speed
prior to landing but do not let the brakes up completely ; flare the
glider by progressively applying the brakes before landing. Avoid
brutal braking after allowing the canopy to accelerate as this will
convert into lift of several metres above the ground.
Launching by winch
The ALPHA 3 is suited to tow or winch launch. The glider does not
require any modification or particular manoeuvre for this type of launch.
Winch launch is only permitted if :
-
The pilot has a winch / tow endorsement.
-
The winch system is certified for use with paragliders.
-
The operator has fully learnt how to winch paragliders.
