The next step in the launch is to bring the
wing into the lift zone. There are two techniques for accomplishing this
depending on wind conditions. In light wind this is usually done after turning
to the front, steering with the feet towards the low wing tip, and applying
light brakes in a natural sense to keep the wing horizontal. In stronger wind
conditions it is often found to be easier to remain facing downwind while
moving slowly and steadily backwards into the wind.
Knees bent to load the wing, foot
adjustments to remain central and minimum use of Cs or Brakes to keep the wing
horizontal. Pirouette when the feet are close to lifting. This option has two
distinct advantages. a) The pilot can see the wing centre marker (an aid to
centring the feet) and, if necessary, b) the pilot can move briskly towards the
wing to assist with an emergency deflation.
With either method it is essential to check
"traffic" across the launch face before committing to flight.

Launching

As with all aircraft, launching and landing
are done into wind. The wing is placed into an airstream, either by running or
being pulled, or an existing wind. The wing moves up over the pilot into a
position in which it can carry the passenger. The pilot is then lifted from the
ground and, after a safety period, can sit down into his harness. Unlike
skydivers, paragliders, like hang gliders, do not "jump" at any time
during this process. There are two launching techniques used on higher
ground[20] and one assisted launch technique used in flatland areas:

Harness

The pilot is loosely and comfortably
buckled into a harness, which offers support in both the standing and sitting
positions. Most harnesses have foam or airbag protectors underneath the seat
and behind the back to reduce the impact on failed launches or landings. Modern
harnesses are designed to be as comfortable as a lounge chair in the sitting or
reclining position. Many harnesses even have an adjustable "lumbar
support". A reserve parachute is also typically connected to a paragliding
harness.
Harnesses also vary according to the need
of the pilot, and thereby come in a range of designs, mostly: Training harness
for beginners, Pax harness for tandem passengers that often also doubles as a
training harness, XC Harness for long distance cross country flights, All round
harness for basic to intermediate pilots, Pod harness, which is for
intermediate to pro pilots that focus on XC. Acro harnesses are special designs
for acrobatic pilots, Kids tandem harnesses are also now available with special
child-proof locks.
Land-based practice: Kiting
About that time, David Barish was
developing the "sail wing" (single-surface wing) for recovery of NASA
space capsules – "slope soaring was a way of testing out ... the Sail
Wing."[5] After tests on Hunter Mountain, New York, in September 1965, he
went on to promote slope soaring as a summer activity for ski resorts.[6][7]
Author Walter Neumark wrote Operating
Procedures for Ascending Parachutes, and in 1973 he and a group of enthusiasts
with a passion for tow-launching PCs and ram-air parachutes broke away from the
British Parachute Association to form the British Association of Parascending Clubs
(which later became the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association). In
1997, Neumark was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Aero Club of the UK.
Authors Patrick Gilligan (Canada) and Bertrand Dubuis (Switzerland) wrote the
first flight manual, The Paragliding Manual in 1985, coining the word
paragliding.
Forward launch
In low winds, the wing is inflated with a
forward launch, where the pilot runs forward with the wing behind so that the
air pressure generated by the forward movement inflates the wing.
It is often easier, because the pilot only
has to run forward, but the pilot cannot see his wing until it is above him,
where he has to check it in a very short time for correct inflation and
untangled lines before the launch.
Reverse launch

In higher winds, a reverse launch is used,
with the pilot facing the wing to bring it up into a flying position, then
turning around under the wing and running to complete the launch.

Radio
Radio communications are used in training,
to communicate with other pilots, and to report where and when they intend to
land. These radios normally operate on a range of frequencies in different
countries—some authorised,[18][19] some illegal but tolerated locally. Some
local authorities (e.g., flight clubs) offer periodic automated weather updates
on these frequencies. In rare cases, pilots use radios to talk to airport
control towers or air traffic controllers. Many pilots carry a cell phone so
they can call for pickup should they land away from their intended point of
destination.
GPS
GPS (global positioning system) is a
necessary accessory when flying competitions, where it has to be demonstrated
that way-points have been correctly passed. The recorded GPS track of a flight
can be used to analyze flying technique or can be shared with other pilots. GPS
is also used to determine drift due to the prevailing wind when flying at
altitude, providing position information to allow restricted airspace to be
avoided and identifying one's location for retrieval teams after landing out in
unfamiliar territory. 松江區(qū)**滑翔傘價格
