Sky Country MUSCAT-3, User Manual

Landing

 In small winds, when you have 1-2 meters to the ground, you 

should pull the brakes gently to your arms’ full length, so that you 

put your Muscat-3 in stall at a height of  about 0.2 -- 0.5 m and the 

horizontal speed is zero. 

 In strong winds you must land facing the wind. If necessary you can 

fold the ears. As you approach the ground, you must take В-risers 

while holding the brakes. As soon as you hit the ground, you must 

turn towards the glider and pull B-risers running towards the wing. 

If the wing is flopping about a meter above the ground, release the 

B-risers and pull the brakes hard to your arms length. We do not 

recommend you to use the brakes in the strong wind, as the wing 

could catch the wind and pull the pilot.

 Do not let the glider overtake you and hit the ground with its front 

edge, which leads to increased pressure in the wing and  may dam

-

age it.

Deflations

Asymmetric collapse

 Every paraglider may collapse in turbulent conditions. 

 Asymmetric collapses can be controlled by weight-shifting away 

from the collapse and applying a small amount of brake to control 

the flight direction. At the same time you should use the brake to 

re-inflate the canopy.

 Remember that the deflated glider has higher stall speed and 

smaller brake travel. That is why you should be careful not to pull 

the brake too hard to avoid stall.

Symmetric front collapse

 Muscat-3 comes out of symmetrical front collapse by itself. You can 

pull the brakes about a 20 cm to speed the re-inflation.

Deep stall (parachuting)

To get out of this mode you must pull А – risers or swing the wing 

by pulling and releasing the brakes (preferably the first one).
