Connexion voile - Sellette

Connecting the wing to the harness

Without twisting the risers, connect them to the harness attachment loops using the self-locking carabiners. Check for the risers to be properly positioned and untwisted. The «A» risers must be located at the front and facing the flight direction (see diagram). Lastly, check for the main self-locking carabiners to be fully closed and locked in place.

Installing the accelerator

Install the accelerator by following the instructions found on page 11. Connect it to the wing using the split hooks. Once the accelerator/speedbar is connected, adjust its length according to your measurements. For correct use, there must not be any tension at the split-hook level when the accelerator/speedbar line is fully relaxed.

Flight behavior

The SKYPPER2 is designed to long technical flights. Its behavior is predictable, precise and stable enough to be used with a precis high level reactive wing, not necessitating heavy weight shiftingor high performance modern wings reactive enough to necessitate heavy weight shifting.

SUPAIR | SKYPPER2 | page 28

Notice d’utilisation sellette | SKYPPER2

Flight phases

Pre-Flight control

• Check that the harness and the carabiners are not damaged..

• Make sure that the reserve parachute safety cables to ride through the closing tabs keeping the reserve rescue pocket flaps closed

• Check that your personal settings haven’t changed.

• Check that all zippers and buckles are closed.

• Check that the speedbar is correctly connected and set up.

• Check that no rigging line or other object comes in contact with rescue parachute handle.

• Make sure that the self-locking carabiners are locked and connected to the paraglider.

Take-off

After a thorough weather conditions analysis, when the decision to fly has been taken, put your harness on and follow the next steps

• Fully close the chest strap buckles.

• Close the Speedbag closing buckle to the right side.

• Close the Speedbag closing buckle to the left side.

• Connect the front resreve’s wichard if you have intalled it

During takeoff, maintain a standing posture and grab the Speedbag with one of your heels once far enough from the ridge. Using the foot-rest, push yourself inside the harness.

The Speedbag closes and the Cockpit positions itself automatically.

Do not release your hands from the brakes when you are close to terrain.

SUPAIR | SKYPPER2 | page 29

Notice d’utilisation sellette | SKYPPER2

Flight phases

In flight

Please set the distance between the two carabiners according to aerology and to the wing manufacturer’s recommendations.

Speedbar use

We recommend a cautious speed-bar use due to the increased risk of major partial or full frontal collapses.

Use the speed-bar/accelerator ( transitions ) only when far away from the ridge and in calm weather conditions as the wing becomes more sensitive to turbulence when accelerated. If you feel a loss of tension in the speed-bar/accelerator, stop pushing it and apply a light brake pressure on the toggles to prevent the glider from experiencing a potential frontal collapse. To properly use the speed-bar, keep

one foot at the foot-rest center space, and push with the second foot on the first speed-bar to obtain a symmetrical acceleration.

Use one foot for the first stage and the other for the second stage.

To decelerate, stop pushing and gradually release the accelerator/speedbar tension.

Landing

When making a landing approach, take your legs out of the Speedbag well in advance. Stand up inside the harness and adopt an upright position in order to run and dissipate the horizontal speed. Always be certain to have enough altitude to make a landing approach corresponding to the weather conditions of the moment and terrain. During the landing approach, never make hasty maneuvers. Always land upwind in a standing posture and be ready to run upon touchdown if necessary. During your final approach, use as much airspeed as possible based on the weather conditions of the moment, then gradually reduce the glider air speed by pushing the toggles all the way down until contact with the ground is made. Beware not to brake too soon and too rapidly

and too deep which could lead to a stall and a dangerous landing.

Do not land in a seated position as it is dangerous.

Using the reserve parachute.

SUPAIR | SKYPPER2 | page 30

Notice d’utilisation sellette | SKYPPER2

Using the reserve parachute

Throwing the reserve parachute

It is strongly recommended to frequently check your reserve parachute handle location while in flight. This exercise should be executed instinctively and will increase your chances of a successful parachute extraction in case of an emergency.

Estimate your AGL ( Altitude Above Ground Level ), which if high enough may make it worth trying to bring your wing back to a normal flying configuration. If in doubt, quickly deploy your emergency parachute.

Deploying a rescue parachute should be done only in an emergency.

With a strong, lateral and then vertical tug, pull the handle towards you and then throw the parachute away from you ( including the container and its handle ) toward a clear unobstructed area of the sky. As soon as the parachute deploys, bring as much of the glider as possible toward you by pulling as symmetrically as possible on the “C” or “D” risers or on the toggles/brakes. Be prepared to land by adopting an upright position, with knees together and legs slightly bent. Prepare to roll down with pivoting shoulders in a paragliding fall (PLF).

Towing

To takeoff under tow, you must be equipped with a quick release specially designed for the task. Connect the tow bridle to the wing riser loops with a Dyneema adaptor with a resistance greater or equal to 300kg. The tow bridle will then be fastened by using a lark’s head knot or an adapted metal link. To complete the installation, follow the tow bridle reales manufacturer’s recommendations. Before towing, you should consult with a competent towing outfit about safety recommendations.

Mandatory controls

Mandatory biannual inspection

- Ascertain parachute deployment functionality by pulling the handle to activate a clean POD extraction sequence

- Inspect the harness for wear and tear.

Annual check

- An annual deployment and repacking of the reserve parachute must be conducted by competent and certified personnel.

SUPAIR | SKYPPER2 | page 31

Notice d’utilisation sellette | SKYPPER2

Care

Harness cleaning and maintenance

It is a good idea to clean your harness from time to time. We recommend using a brush and soft solvents only ( soap or mild cleaning agents ). Rinse thoroughly. Never use aggressive chemicals such as strong solvents which could be harmful to the harness’s fabric, webbings, stitching and weaken its integrity. The zip fasteners should be lubricated from time to time, using a silicon spray.

If you regularly use your harness in a dusty environment ( dirt, sand, etc... ), we advise you to regularly check and maintain your carabiners and buckles: clean them with a mild detergent, then blow dry them fully but DO NOT LUBRICATE! Prior to using them, conduct a thorough carabiners and buckles checkup to insure their full functionality.

If you use your harness in a marine/sandy/salty environment, pay particular attention to your gear and follow a rigorous care/maintenance routine. If your dorsal foam protector is more than 5 years old or has been subjected to 2 significant shocks, replace it by a new identical model.

Storage and transport

When not in use, your harness should be stored inside your paragliding backpack, in a dry, cool and clean place, protected from UV exposure. If your harness is wet, please dry it thoroughly before storing. For transport, protect the harness from any mechanical or UV deterioration (use a bag). Please avoid long transports in wet conditions.

Life span

Once every two (2) years, a thorough harness inspection must be conducted :

• Webbing wear and tear (no excessive wear, no rip beginning, no unwanted folds)

• Buckles and carabiners ( functionality, wear and tear ).

• BUMPAIR dorsal protector damage after substantial impact(s). It must be replaced by a new one after three (3) substantial impacts or three (3) years of use ( whichever comes first ).

The threads and fabric used for the manufacturing of the SKYPPER2 were specifically selected for their quality and resilience levels. However, in particular instances such as long term UV exposure, abrasion, contact with damaging chemicals, general wear and tear, the harness will need to be inspected at a professional certified repair facility. Safety comes first!

The self-locking carabiners are NEVER to be used for any activities other than paragliding. Independently of the pre-flight check-out, you have to open and unfold your rescue parachute once every year.

SUPAIR | SKYPPER2 | page 32

Notice d’utilisation sellette | SKYPPER2

Care

Repair

In spite of using the highest quality products to manufacture the SKYPPER2 , it is possible for your harness to deteriorate through general use. If showing any sign of wear and tear, it should be sent for inspection and/or repairs at a professional certified facility.
