− Prior to take-off

• Check the fuel level in the tank and the opening of the cock.

• Fasten and check seat belts engagement. WARNING: Safety belts should be placed at hip

level and tightened correctly. The strap loops under the seats are positioned to ensure

correct safety belt positioning. Never remove safety belts from the strap loops under the

seats: Safety belts fastened at abdominal level may cause internal injury in the event of

violent shock.

• When aircraft is equipped with shoulder's strap, pull the buckle to release the winding

system and fix it on the locating lug provided for this purpose, on the belt's side.

• Check ignition switch by rapidly switching OFF and then ON with engine operating.

• Check that the switch selector is on the central position 1+2.

• Check that the control bar travel moves freely in roll and pitch axis.

• Release the parking brake by a short depression of the brake pedal.

− Take-off

Use progressively full throttle when carrying a passenger. Throttle back slightly after having

climbed 300 ft (100 m) to reduce engine wear. When flying solo, 3/4 throttle will suffice for

take-off and climbing. Use full power only under critical conditions (short take-off runs,

obstacles, high-altitude flight). In that case never reduce or cut the engine below the 300 ft

(100 m) altitude to avoid dynamic stalling. For safety reasons, use the throttle lever rather than

the foot pedal at take-off on rough terrain. Never take-off with less than 2.5 gallons petrol (10

l).

The recommended speed for initial climb is indicated in the wing's manual.

− Cruising

Keep the aircraft level with the throttle between 1/4 and full, depending on given airspeed.

Avoid repeated and sudden power climbs and idle dives to prevent sudden engine temperature

changes, which could damage the engine by thermal shock. Fuel tank content is easy to check

from pilot's and passenger's seats as the tank is translucent and has a side gauge. Landing shall

be considered before tank content has reduced to 1.5 US gallons (5 litres). This allows

approximately 30 minutes reserve of flight at low cruising speed.

− Landing

The landing approach is best executed using the foot throttle and both hands on the control bar.

At maximum load, keep the throttle at 1/4 of full power when on final to facilitate flare-out.

Throttle back once the wheels touch the ground.

The final approach for landing is explained in the user's manual of the wing.

− Parking

Place the aircraft across the wind and place the extremity of the half-wing in the wind on the

ground. Stop the engine with the ignition switch. Block the parking brake with the rack on the

right side of the throttle. Block the control bar on the front strut of the trike using a Velcro.

Leave the trike, pilot first, and always on the left side.
