CAYENNE6
EN
Examples:
> If the pilot is surprised near a summit with little ground clearance by strong wind or a
thundercloud, neither a B-stall nor a spiral dive can help.
> If the pilot is stuck in very strong lift, it is advisable to exit the lift band with the use of
big ears and to find sinking air in which to lose altitude.
B-LINE STALL
We don´t recommend this descent technique with the CAYENNE6. For fast descent use
a spiral dive or big ears.
You can find further information about descent techniques in the enclosed “BASIC GUIDE”.
8 MATERIALS
The skywalk CAYENNE6 is manufactured from the highest quality materials. skywalk has
selected the best possible combination of materials with regard to resilience, perfor-
mance and longevity. We are aware that the durability of the glider is a deciding factor
in the pilot’s satisfaction.

9 HOMOLOGATION
The CAYENNE6 is certified to LTF 09 and EN926-1, EN926-2 in the category C.
The CAYENNE6 is defined as a lightweight sport aircraft with an empty weight of less
than 120kg in the paraglider category. The many homologation tests are the last hur-
dle in the development of a skywalk paraglider. The homologation test flights only take
place when the test team is completely happy with the glider development.
We remark that the certification results will differ during flight in thermals or turbulent air.
The homologation informs solely regarding the paraglider performance during extreme-
flight- manoeuvres performed in stable air conditions. These extreme-flight-manoeu-
vres during the homologation process should thus not be over-valued.
Remember that certification maneuvers were carried out with a harness in the group
GH with a carabiner distance (middle to middle) of 42-46 cm. If another harness is used,
the glider may display flight characteristics that differ from those in the description.
