angle of attack, as well as flight at lower airspeed because of the re-
duced wing loading .
To avoid the risk of deep stall with a wet glider you should brake as litt-
le as possible and never use big ears . A further preventative measure
is to fly with trimmers open .
These tactics have a small effect on the angle of attack . If the wet
glider were still to go into deep stall opening the trimmers is your only
recourse . See section “Deep stall” .
Winching
The PI BI is suitable for winch launching . When taking off in windless
conditions, ensure that the paraglider is laid out in an arched or even
wedge shape (to avoid risk of the glider rosetting) .
Winch launch is only permitted if::
the pilot has completed a tow training course (only Germany/
DHV),
the winch system is certified for use with paragliders,
the winch operator has been fully trained in how to winch
paragliders .
Acro
The PI BI was not designed as a tandem-acro wing . However, its
eagerness to turn and precise handling allows very nice wingovers,
asymmetric spirals and SATs to be flown . Even helicos have been
observed .
Caution:
Be aware that dynamic manoeuvring puts heavy
loading on the structure and can reduce your wing’s lifespan .
Regular checks of the glider become necessary for your safe-
ty . You should also take note of the legal requirements of you
country .
Certification for solo flying
The PI BI can be used for solo flying provided the certified takeoff
weight range (p . 30) is observed and the original risers are used
