FLIGHT MANUAL
CAUTION
:
Winch launching at the maximum permitted all-up mass should only be
done if there is an appropriately powerful winch and a cable in perfect
condition available.
Furthermore, there is not much point in launching by winch for a
soaring flight if the release height gained is less than 300 m (984 ft).
In case of doubt, reduce the all-up mass.
WARNING:
It is explicitly advised against winch launching
with a tail wind!
CAUTION:
Prior to launching by winch, it must be ensured that the crew is properly
seated and able to reach all control elements.
Particularly when using seat cushions it must be made sure that during the
initial acceleration and while in the steep climbing attitude the occupants
are not able to slide backwards and up.
