Certified Weight Range

The Vantage must be flown within the certified weight range given in the reference section at

the back of this manual. The weight range is quoted as the total weight in flight, i.e. the weight

of the pilot, motor, glider, harness and accessories. The easiest way to check your total weight

is to stand on weighing scales with all your equipment packed into your rucksack.

Pre-flight safety

Have appropriate practical and theoretical training and experience for this class of glider.

Have the necessary insurance and licences.

Be in your right mind, unaffected by extreme stress, recreational or prescribed drugs.
Only fly in conditions suitable for your level of proficiency.

Wear suitable head protection; use a certified harness and emergency parachute.
