h) Specific use / security instructions

1) Towing

− The towing line must include a fuse gauged at 80 daN maximum in order to allow an

automatic releasing in case of over-tensioning.

− Release the towing line above a fully clear ground before landing.

− Test systematically the releasing device of the trike before taking-off.

− The ideal speed for towing streamers is 47 mph (75 km/h). In the case of a glider, the speed

should be adapted to its performances. The emergency procedures stated in chapter III e)

remain applicable; the towing must be launched above a fully clear field prior to landing.

Characteristics, listed in the chart in chapter II c) of the concerned wing user's manual, lessen

due to the drag of towing and flying level requires a superior engine power. Minimum speed

and stall speed remain unchanged.

2) Load carriage, survey material, data transmission, photography, video ...

− Install the loads to be carried on the passenger seat. The holding device has to support

efforts up to 9 g forward, 3 g upward et 1,5 g laterally.

− Limit the dimensions of the loads carried to avoid any contact, stress marks or blocking with

the wing structure and particularly with the inferior longitudinal cables.

− Mounting any kind of camera at the tip of the wing is possible up to a maximum weight of 2

kg if you install a counterweight at the extremity of the opposite wing. The inertia of the

wing on its roll axis will increase.

− The emergency procedures stated in chapter III e) remain applicable.

3) Sky jumpers

− The place is always the back seat, such as in normal tandem or "sidesaddle", body

perpendicular to the trike axis.

− Cut the engine before the preparatory step of the jump. You may use the wheel leg gear as a

step.

− A repetition on the ground is absolutely necessary before taking-off.

− The emergency procedures stated in chapter III e) remain applicable. If altitude allows, the

sky jumper will seat back to "normal position" before landing.

4) Floats

− Mounting of floats increase considerably the inertia of the trike in roll and yaw and reduces

its performances due to the increase of the total drag.

− The "taxiage" changes from the ground use by several aspects :

The center of gravity is set higher and the leaning surface is not rigid, which involves a greater

sensitiveness to the wind (risk of flipping over). "Pilot" the wings according to the indications of

the flight manual, even more carefully than on the ground.

The lack of brake requires a good management of the speed and you can fully stop only once the

engine is off.

The components used for the structure of the trike are not intended for a use on the sea owing to

the risk of corroding and electrolytic stress due to the saltiness of this environment

− The emergency procedures stated in chapter III e) remain applicable.
