Landings :
We recommend you to select a landing site that you are familiar with, as well as having no
obstacle. Beware of your first landings with the BI BETA 2 as its performance will almost cer-
tainly be superior to your previous biplace canopy. Remember to build up speed prior to lan-
ding but do not let the brakes up completely ; flare the glider by progressively applying the bra-
kes before landing. Avoid brutal braking after allowing the canopy to accelerate as this will con-
vert into lift of several metres above the ground.
Launching by winch :
The BI BETA 2 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.
