5. D 41 LINE SYSTEM The lines of the Cayenne 3 represent an ideal compromise in durability and low drag The material mix of covered main lines Dyneema and Aramid as well as uncovered Technora lines guarantees the best mechanical strength properties with minimal drag A cover is sewn on the loops at the connection on the mid lines as well as the top lines in order to guarantee the best possible transmission of energy It was possible with this combination of materials as well as the laborious loop sleeves to reduce drag by 40 in comparison to its predecessor The CAYENNE3 is a purebred 3 liner system which means it operates solely over 3 line levels 3 A 3 B 3 C as well as 1 stabilo line This means also that it has only A B und C connection points The skywalk CAYENNE3 has 4 risers on each side gt The A lines lead to the A riser gt The B lines as well as the stabilo lines lead to the B riser gt The inner and outer C lines lead to the Cl riser gt The middle C lines lead to the C3 riser A schematic illustration of the risers can be found on page 63 and next IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING FLYING A PARAGLIDER REQUIRES MAXIMUM CAUTION AT ALL TIMES BE AWARE THAT FLYING YOUR PARAGLIDER IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK AS A PILOT YOU MUST GUARANTEE THE AIRWORTHINESS OF YOUR PARAGLIDER BEFORE EVERY SINGLE FLIGHT Don t use your skywalk CAYENNE3 gt Outside the certified take off weight With any engine gt In rainy snowy and

EVER ACCELERATE NEAR THE GROUND NEVER LET GO OF THE BRAKE HANDLES In case the glider collapses you will have to release the speed system immediately in order to stabilise and reopen your paraglider LANDING The skywalk CAYENNE3 can be landed easily Make your final approach against the wind and let the glider slow down at its own speed Reduce the speed further by applying the brakes lightly and evenly At about 1m above the ground you increase the angle of attack by slowing down 48 CAYENNE more and eventually completely flare out the glider When you have reached the minimal speed apply full brake In strong head winds slow down carefully When you have reached the ground safely stall the glider carefully Avoid turning sharply before your final approach danger of oscillation CAUTION THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT YOU MAY MISCALCULATE THE FINAL APPROACH OF YOUR FIRST FEW LANDINGS DUE TO THE HIGH PERFORMANCE LEVEL BE AWARE THAT THE GLIDER TAKES A BIT OF ALTITUDE WHEN YOU BRAKE AFTER FLARING ON YOUR LANDING APPROACH Carefully packing your paraglider will increase the longevity of your glider gt Empty the glider from all debris such as leaves twigs grass sand etc gt Sort out your lines and spread them evenly on the glider gt Make sure the glider is dry when storing it for lengthy periods of time gt Fold the glider starting in the middle and work your way to the outside always fold ing 2 cells so that

LE HIGHER THAN DURING NORMAL FLIGHT 51 B line stall B Line Stall Due to the 3 Line System the B Stall demands a higher energy expendi ture as with the 4 Line Systems The glider dives back further and shoots at the wrong time clearly more forward Because the B Stall has a much higher wear and tear effect on the cloth we recommend using It only as an aid in descending Big ears Big Ears Pull the outer ALines symetrically downward for Big Ears Both wing tips will fold inwards and the rate of sink increases If you then activate the Speed System the rate of sink will increase again The glider remains controllable through weight shift and braking on one side To exit Big Ears gently use the steering lines A steep spiral or wingover with Big Ears is strongly discouraged It can lead to damage of material due to the high stress on the remaining lines Examples gt In strong winds or below a thundercloud at low altitude it is possible that neither B line stall or spiral dive will help Big Ears are the easy way out f the pilot is stuck in strong lift and needs to look for sink it is advisable to exit the lift band with the use of Big Ears gt In order to fold the wing tips you have to pull both outer A lines simultaneously gt This will cause both wing tips to fold inwards and the skywalk CAYENNE3 will enter a stable forward flight The brake handles remain in your hands together with the outer A line Braking and wei

11. e skywalk CAYENNE3 enters the spiral dive with a high banking angle and makes a fast steep turn The banking and sinking can be controlled by a carefully dosed pulling resp loosening of the inner brakeline Smooth braking of the outer wingtip avoids collapsing and also speed can be controlled better in hard spirals The spiral is the most effective tool in losing height This is an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time the pilot needs to be able to handle the resulting high sinkrate CAUTION THE HIGH SINK RATE CAUSES HIGH PHYSICAL STRAIN DUE TO THE INCREASING CENTR IFUGAL FORCES AND MAY CAUSE BLACKOUTS Tensioning the stomach muscles during the spiral dive can help At the first signs of dizziness or feeling faint exit the spiral dive immediately Because of the extreme loss of altitude experienced during a spiral dive always ensure you have enough height above ground To avoid a strong surge when exiting the spiral dive you have to release the inside brake whilst applying the outer brake slightly The CAYENNE3 has no tendency towards a stable spiral dive The pilot must not sit neutrally in the harness but must actively shift the weight to the inside of the turn Should the glider reset under adverse conditions e g unintentional asymmetric back tension the pilot must actively exit the spiral by shifting weight to the outside of the curve and applying more brake to the outer side of the curve WARNING STEERING PRESSURE IS A LITT
