Suitability for training
The AirDesign SUSI 4 is suitable for the use in the school environment as stated by the
manufacturer when flown in the standard loading range (check the technical data chart).
Excerpt from EN-NORM:
Pilots' aptitude
In general:
•
Each pilot should be able to act on his own responsibility.
•
Each pilot flying under their own responsibility, must be able to judge if they are able
to cope successfully with the particular flying conditions during a flight.
•
Even with the best and safest equipment, a wrong decision can lead to serious injury.
It is the pilot's obligation to avoid such misjudgements by progressing through
structured theoretical and practical training.
•
It is the pilots' obligation to use suitable protective gear and to maintain the
airworthiness of their equipment.
By following these basic principles we wish all pilots a successful, safe and enjoyable flying
career.
Recommended weight range
The SUSI 4 must only be flown within the certified weight range as stated in the technical data
under section 3. The take-off weight includes pilot plus clothing, glider, harness, equipment
etc.
The SUSI 4 reacts to a variation in loading with a reduction or increase of trim-speed. The
performance remains more or less the same.
