| MINIMAX 3
Straighten yourself in your harness and adopt a running posture to dissipate the horizontal speed.
Always be certain to have enough altitude to make a landing approach corresponding to the weather conditions of the moment and ter-
rain. During the landing approach, never make hasty maneuvers. Always land upwind in a standing posture and be ready to run upon
touchdown if necessary.
During your final approach, use as much airspeed as possible based on the weather conditions of the moment, then gradually reduce the
glider air speed by pushing the toggles all the way down until contact with the ground is made. Beware not to brake too soon and too rapidly
and too deep which could lead to a stall and a dangerous landing.
During high wind speed landings, turnaround and face the wing as soon as ground contact is made and move toward the wing while brak-
ing symmetrically to deflate it. Do not land in a seated position as it is dangerous.
