PILOT'S MANUAL MANUEL DE VOL - Ozone

SAFETY
Please do not forget that all flying sports are potentially dangerous and may
cause bodily harm or death. The buyer of this product takes the exclusive
responsibility for all risks associated with paragliding. Inappropriate use and or
abuse of your equipment increase these risks.
Fly Carefully! Judge the area and weather conditions exactly before you fly and
add a large margin of safety to everything. Fly only with certified paragliding
equipment. This includes paraglider, reserve parachute, helmet, harness, and
boots.
All pilots must have the appropriate license necessary for their respective country.
Your glider must be free from modifications and not be flown outside of the minimum
and maximum weight ranges.
Do not fly your glider in rain, snow, strong wind, turbulent weather conditions or clouds.
Please use good, safe judgment so that you can enjoy flying for many years to come.
HARNESS
Your glider has been certified with all GH style harnesses. A GH style harness
has variable cross bracing. Your glider is not certified for use with the GX style
harness. The GX style harness has ridged cross bracing that can unfavourably
influence the handling and individual areas of the safety-relevant flight behaviour.
Almost all harnesses since 1993 are GH style harnesses but you need to check
the certification label on the harness to be certain.
The DHV test all gliders with a distance around 41 cm between the centres of each
Karabiner, Ozone also recomends this distance for normal flight. If the glider is
flown with the Karabiners further apart than 41 cm you will feel greater input from
the wing through the harness. If the Karabiners are closer together than 41 cm you
will feel less input from the wing through the harness.
