Print PageCheck that no one is in the radius of the propeller, and activate the electric starter (if equipped) or pull the
handle of the starter located on the upper beam. The manual starter is equipped with a "Flash starter"
system that facilitates start-up. Perform rapid pulls of the cord to "charge" the spring until start-up.
Shut the command of the starter after a few seconds of power.
Access on board
The positions of the front fork are adaptable to fit every size of pilot. Four openings in the lower
beam of the trike allow for the adjustment of the position of the fork and the command foot
pedals.
The alignment of the seat back may be adjusted by moving the upper strap of the seat bottom
which can slide the frame by unscrewing the two blocking screws.
The pocket located in the front of the seat may contain up to 3kg (6lbs) of material.
The bag (optional) placed behind the seat back may contain up to 9kg 13lbs) of material and
baggage.
Prior to take-off
Check the fuel level in the tank and the adjustable rear view mirror that allows the pilot to view
the fuel level in flight.
Fasten the seat belt like an automobile seat belt, check that the buckle is properly secured.
WARNING: the safety belt should be placed at hip level. Safety belts fastened at abdominal
level may cause internal lesions in the event of violent shock.
Check that the control bar moves freely in roll and pitch axes.
Release the parking brake by a short push on the brake pedal.
Take-off
Use full throttle for a short take off. Avoid reducing or cutting the engine below 100 m (328ft)
altitude to avoid the dynamic stall that could result. Never take off with a fuel level of fewer than 5 l
(1.3 gallons).
Cruising
Keep the aircraft level with the throttle between 1/4 and full depending on given airspeed and load.
Avoid repeated and sudden power climbs and dives to prevent sudden engine temperature changes,
which cause wear and tear. Checking the fuel level is done by looking in the rear view mirror
located on the left side of the landing gear (right in the US). A landing should be performed when
the fuel level is less than 3 l (0.8 gallons), allowing for no more than thirty minutes of flight at
economic cruising speed.
Landing
The landing approach is best executed using the throttle pedal in order to keep both hands on the
control bar. At maximum load, keep the throttle at 1/4 of full power when on finals to facilitate
flare-out. Throttle back when the wheels touch the ground.
