PILOT'S MANUAL MANUEL DE VOL - Ozone

to be confident every time and this is where ground handling comes in. It is a form
of flying, like flying a kite and the skill required to be good at it is enormous. The
reward for practising ground handling is that you learn how to feel the wing and
this helps on the ground and in the air. Find an open space and a clear airflow
and practise inflating the wing with both forward and reverse launch techniques.
Don't stop there, do it again and again day after day until you are confident you
are fully in control. Even when you are confident it is always worth practising this
skill. This skill will help remove some of that apprehension at take-off and make
you a safer and better pilot.
