Safety precautions
– Before the first flight the canopy, lines, all connections and sewing, mallions, brake line and
brake line knots as well as ev. twisted lines need to be checked by trained and authorized
personnel and confirmed in the signboard of the glider.
– make your maiden flight in a familiar flying site and calm conditions.
– Test your U-Turn BLACKLIGHT 2 only over water.
– In a „dynamic flight“ not only you are exposed to Hike loads but also the glider.
do not underestimate this condition!
– only fly your U-Turn BLACKLIGHT 2 with at least one reserve parachute!
– observe and abide to the local aviation laws which rule in the respective country in question.
– Successful completion of appropriate training/schooling, having the needed knowledge
as well as the actual flight experience are a prerequisite to operate
your U-Turn BLACKLIGHT 2.
– The use of suitable, certified and in the respective country approved accessories (helmet, har-
ness, reserve) is a requirement for the use of the U-Turn BLACKLIGHT 2.
– Before every take off execute a thorough inspection of your equipment (top sail, bottom sail,
ribs, especially the lines, carabiners, buckles, cloth speed system etc.) A flight with a tear in
a glider or lines can be life threatening.
– Always make sure that your flying gear is in good condition and all checks are done.
– Be aware that you as a pilot have to be in a physical and mental state to control each flight
unimpaired. You have to concentrate completely on flying, in order to avoid potential dis-
tressing flight conditions. most accidents are caused by pilot error.
– never fly in close proximity to high voltage power lines, airports or motorways, over people
or with lightning! You cold endanger your life and the physical well being of yourself as well
as third parties and at the same time act reckless and negligent. At no circumstance should
the minimum distance fall below 50 m at any given time. At airports this minimum distance
to maintain is 5 km.
– Inform yourself on the weather forecast and/or the predominating local weather conditions.
Use the U-Turn BLACKLIGHT 2 only in wind strengths, in which you are able to control the
wing to 100%. do not use the U-Turn BLACKLIGHT 2, in wind with a great gust factor. never
use the glider with approaching thunderstorms or if probability of those of the development
of thunderstorms is high. If a thunderstorm is approaching land immediately!
– The flying of aerobatics is generally forbidden and is dangerous. Unforeseen flight orienta-
tions can occur, which can spill out of control, arising the danger of overload on pilot and
equipment.
attEntion:
Ignoring one or several safety precautions can lead to a
leisurely fun flight turning into a fatal event!
