GIN Atlas X-Alps - Manual (Page 21)

WARNING: uncoordinated wingovers can
result in large asymmetric collapses or
cravattes. Always make sure you have
sufficient ground clearance and the
necessary skill and experience before
attempting such manoeuvres.
TIP: Make sure your wing is overhead
at the start of your tow. Be careful not
to over-control the wing as it reacts
differently to control inputs when on
tow.
Other modes of flight
Aerobatics
Your Atlas X-Alps is not intended to be used for aerobatics (acro). By engaging in such an
activity, you voluntarily assume an increased risk of injury or death. Aerobatics may also cause
premature ageing of the materials and in the worst case, structural failure.
Wingovers (steeply backed alternating turns)
Wingovers up to 90 degrees angle of bank may be performed by pilots with the appropriate
training.
Towing
The Atlas X-Alps is suitable for towing using standard towing procedures.
You are responsible for ensuring that your towing operations are safe and in accordance with
any applicable tow regulations. Make sure you have appropriate tow training and use a suitable
harness attachment and release mechanism. Always use an approved tow system and qualified tow
operator.
Paramotoring
The Atlas X-Alps is not intended for motorized flight. Details of GIN wings suitable for
motorized flight can be found in the paramotoring section of our website.
