Suitable harnesses
The ADVANCE BIBETA 6 is certified for harnesses in Group GH ( with-
out rigid cross-bracing - see section «Certification» ) . The suspension
points of the chosen harness should ideally have a carabiner distance
of approximately 45 cm ( equivalent to your shoulder width ) and a
height of 40 to 48 cm .
The BIBETA 6 is neither suitable nor certified for use with harnesses
in group GX ( with effective cross-bracing ) . The use of such har-
nesses can have a bad effect on both handling and extreme flight
characteristics .
Weight range
BIBETA 6 weight ranges for 38 and 41 sizes are given in the «Technical
Data» section . The weights quoted are total in-flight weight . This
includes the body weights of pilot and passenger including their clo-
thes - and everything else that is to fly (paraglider, harnesses, reserve,
instruments etc .) .
Flying at lower or upper weight limits can influence the flying characte-
ristics and handling of the paraglider, but does not affect safety . When
the BIBETA 6 is flown in the upper part of its weight range the higher
wing loading results in a higher trim speed, which results in more agile
and dynamic behaviour, and a longer takeoff run .
Certification for solo flying
The Bibeta 6 can be used for solo flying provided the certified takeoff
weight range is observed and the original risers are used .
