 Take a closer look at the landing/air

fi

eld before you take-off 

●

 Before landing, check the wind direction and speed 

●

 Train landing 

fl

ights as often as possible to become familiar with the Condor 2 

●

 Landing without engine power requires less space 

●

 In the case of strong headwinds, apply the brake gently. After landing, turn in the direction of 
 the glider if there is a danger of being pulled backward from the glider and falling 

●

 Steep turns and rapid changes of direction must be avoided before landing due to the 
 oscillating movements associated with them. 

 Landing with standing propeller reduces the chances of damaging the propeller on landing, but on 
 the other hand there is only one possible attempt - so the landing must be done correctly! 

 For a landing with a standing propeller, turn off the engine at a height of 30 to 50 meters. The lack 

 of motor thrust reduces the angle of attack of the Condor 2 and the glider speed picks up noticeably. 
 The sink rate also increases, so that the landing approach starts very quickly and with increased sink 
 rate. Towards the lower end of the brake range, the Condor 2 then starts to retain the energy and the 
 

fl

are comes clearly. 

 If you are attempting precision landings or landing in nil wind, it is recommended to use the 

 trimmers to half or completely closed (maximum lift). Your performance in sink rate will be better. This 
 choice is even more crucial at a high wing loading. 

 Make a 

fl

at approach with the engine idling, then stabilize and lose speed before the 

fi

nal approach. 

 Immediately after touchdown, switch off the engine. The main advantage of this procedure is the 
 possibility to abort the landing and repeat the approach in case of bad judgment. However, if you 
 forget to turn off the engine before the wing de

fl

ates, there is a considerable risk of damaging your 

 propeller, catching lines, or even injuring yourself by falling with your gear on. 

 Additional information for motorized 

fl

ying 

 The following points should be noted when 

fl

ying with the Condor 2 as paramotor: 

●

 Never place the engine downwind of your sail, to avoid trouble due to possible gusts 

●

 Check the gaskets of all fuel pipes for leakage 

●

 Check whether you are carrying enough fuel for the planned 

fl

ight 

●

 Inspect equipment and harness for loose parts that might fall into the propeller 

●

 Before each 

fl

ight, carefully follow the individual points of the pre-

fl

ight check 

●

 Immediately after landing, turn off the engine to avoid damage to the leash and propeller. 

●

 Avoid 

fl

ights over water and power lines, do not 

fl

y between trees and generally avoid areas 

 where a motor failure does not offer a landing option 

●

 If you recognize a change of the engine noise or increased vibration, you should land 
 immediately to 

fi

x the problem 

●

 Keep in mind that engines interfere with noise. Therefore avoid low altitudes over towns
