Once in stable flight place feet in boot, and extend legs while transferring hands to base tube

to assume prone flight position. Remember to aviate, navigate then pronate. Numerous

accidents have occurred to pilots who have neglected this rule while trying to get into prone.

If you are new to prone flight we recommend the following guidelines. Firstly remember this

is no hurry to go prone – you can happily soar in hang. Once the glider is safely airborne

check you are flying at trim (aviate) and not on a collision course with anything (navigate).

Only after you have established this should you search for the boot with your feet. We

recommend you do this by feel as if you spend much time looking down for the boot you are

unlikely to be either aviating or navigating. Once the boot is found slip your feet in but do not

push out. Aviate and navigate. Next place one hand on the base tube. Extend the legs

without pushing or pulling on the A frame. As you drop into prone transfer your other hand

to the base tube. Aviate and navigate. Once settled in prone flight and clear of the ground

and traffic close the harness zipper using the zip up line. If you do not feel comfortable in

prone drop back into hang and fly the glider.

Adjust the head up/down position to suit your preference using the head up/down rope and

cleat. For your initial flights we suggest tying this rope off before you fly so you are limited

to a slightly head up position.

Before landing you will need to extend your undercarriage and get into ahead up position.

This is easily done by pulling the unzip line. Replace the unzip line on its velcro tab to

prevent tripping on it during landing. Slip your feet out of the boot and rock gently upward

into the upright position. You may find that gently pushing up on the base tube or using the

head up rope aids this transition. Always transition to a head up position with plenty of

altitude. Once again remember to aviate and navigate whilst transitioning.

Packing your harness

Your harness has been designed to enable you to pack everything needed for cross-country

flight. We recommend you use the following method.

Lay your unzipped glider bag flat on the ground and fold it in half lengthways. Then fold it to

form a flat package as wide as the harness frame. Place keys, wallet and other valuables in

the external pocket of the harness bag and do the zip up. Then fold the bag into a small

package also as wide as the harness frame. Place all the accessory pack up gear into a tip bag.

Lay the harness on the ground, carabiner side down, and open the full-length internal pocket

zip. Place your drinking bladder in the bladder pocket. Place the folded glider bag along the

full length of the internal bag. Place the tip bag containing the accessory pack up gear and the

folded harness bag on top of this. Arrange this gear for a relatively even thickness along the

back of the harness. Do up the internal pocket zip.

The streamlined low profile side pocket has been designed to fair the arm on glide and hold a

small camera, radio and some snack food. All are easily accessible in flight.

Optional accessory camera/radio, oxygen and drogue chute pockets may have been fitted at

your request.
