Bolero 6 user manual

Glider categories and guidelines
The German Hanggliding and Paragliding Association (DHV) and its safety division
have developed guidelines which are based on many years of analysing paraglider
accidents and on the experience of �ying schools, �ying instructors and safety oퟆ�cers.
These guidelines should help pilots to select the appropriate glider classi�cation for their
particular level of �ying ability. The information below relates to the classi�cation in EN/LTF-
certi�cation. There is also further information on the website of the relevant licensing body.
The complexity of the paraglider system means that it is not possible to give any more than
a partial description of the glider’s �ight behaviour and reactions to disturbances. Even a small
alteration in individual parameters can result in �ight behaviour which is markedly modi�ed
and diퟍ�erent from the description given.
WARNING: The descriptions of ight characteristics contained in this Manual are all based
on experiences from the test ights, which were carried out under standardised
conditions. The classication is merely a description of the reactions to these standard
tests.
EN/LTF certication
The Bolero 6 received EN-A classi�cation in the �nal classi�cation by the licensing body.
Description of ight characteristics
“Paragliders with maximum passive safety and extremely forgiving �ying characteristics.
Gliders with good resistance to departures from normal �ight.”
Target group and recommended ying experience
“For all pilots, from beginners to cross country �yers, who want the highest passive safety
standards in their canopy. Pilots who �y less than 15-20 hours airtime per year are
recommended to only �y canopies with this rating.”
Description of pilot skills required
“Designed for all pilots including pilots under all levels of training.”
Suitability for training
