1. IV Descent techniques Fast descents may be appropriate in certain flight situations Some examples of when quick descent may improve safety to descend away from a cumulus cloud that is generating too much lift to land before a storm arrives to avoid landing ina small or restrictive area Your INCANTO is capable of several descent techniques These techniques should be practiced the first time under the supervision of an instructor We recommend the following manoeuvres in order of increasing descent rate potential Small and Big Ears Small Ears is folding in the wing tips of your INCANTO to increase the sink rate To do so use only the outer A risers and pull them down After initiating the small ears you may also step into your speed system and push it so that the pitch angle of your glider is compensated and your speed and sink rate further increases This technique results in descents rates of up to 3 0 m s Doing Big ears is only recommended in emergency situations when in need of higher descent rates for example descending through strong thermals which would otherwise pull you into cumulus clouds or approaching storms To do big ears sit upright and take only the outer 2 A lines one each side of the glider not the entire A risers Pull them slow and in one smooth motion so that nearly 25 of the wing is collapsed on each side Note that once big ears are in you have less wing area supporting you and your stall speed will have2. 83126 Flintsbach Deutschland Diese Musterpr fbescheinigung ist erteilt auf Grund der die Musterpr fung betreffenden Bestimmungen des Luftverkehrgesetzes der Luftverkehrs Zulassungs Ordnung der Verordnung zur Pr fung von Luftfahrtger t und der Luftt chtigkeitsforderungen in der heute geltenden Fassung sowie zu den Bedingungen der Vereinbarung ber Musterpr fung und des Schreibens vom 15 03 2006 Die Musterpr fung gilt gem zugeh rigem Ger te Kennblatt Nr DHV GS 01 1489 06 15 03 2006 Datum der Ausstellung Unterschrift INCANTO L gt gt INCANTO 1 00 rl E gt S S Date Page wings for dreams 10 08 06 30 34 DHV OeAeC Technikreferat LBA anerkannte Pr fstelle f r Hangegleiter und Gleitsegel D Deutscher Hangegleiterverband e V im DAeC Beauftragter der sterreichischen Luftfahrtbeh rde Luftsportger te Kennblatt Gleitschirm Ger te Kennblatt Nr DHV GS 01 1489 06 Ausgabe 0 Datum 15 03 2006 Musterpr fung 1 Ger temuster caro Incanto L 2 Hersteller Fly amp more GmbH ICARO 3 Datum der Musterpr fbescheinigung 15 03 2006 Merkmale und Betriebsgrenzen Gerategewicht ohne Packsack kg 6 8 Zulassiges Startgewicht minimal kg 100 maximal kg 125 Anzahl der Sitze min 1 max 1 Klasse 1 2 Gurtzeugbeschrankung GH Fu beschleuniger Ja Trimmer von Hand zu bedienen Projizierte Fl che m 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Windenschle
