Paragliders with moderate passive safety, potentially dynamic reactions to turbulence and pilot errors. The recovery to normal flight may require The ARTIK 6 has been submitted for the European EN and LTF precise interventions by the pilot. certification. All certification tests were performed at the Swiss testing house Air Turquoise.

It should be noted that the ARTIK 6 climbs better in thermals than the suffer from deformation unless the radius at the point of bending is less previous model.

The ARTIK 6 lands excellently, it converts the wing speed into lift at your demand, allowing an enormous margin of error. Wrapping the brake lines Having the knowledge that the testing house provides through the test around your hand to get greater braking efficiency is not necessary.
In spite of the ARTIK 6 ’s profile stability, strong turbulent air may cause lines. The normal wing reaction will be to have a lateral surge on the re- the wing to collapse asymmetrically, especially in very strong turbulence, accelerated side with a rotation not greater than 360º...
4.4 FLYING WITHOUT BRAKE LINES 5. LOSING ALTITUDE If, for any reason at all, the ARTIK 6 ‘s brake lines become disabled in Knowledge of different descent techniques could become vital in flight, it will become necessary to pilot the wing with the C-risers and certain situations.
To exit the manoeuvre, simultaneously release both risers. The wing will then slightly surge forward and automatically return to normal flight. It is The ARTIK 6 is designed with little chord, which is good in normal flight better to let go of the lines quickly rather than slowly.
6.1 TOWING The exit should be performed gradually and smoothly so that the The ARTIK 6 does not experience any problem whilst being towed. Only changes in pressure and speed can be noted. qualified winch personnel should handle the certified equipment to carry When exiting the spiral, the glider will briefly experience an asymmetrical out this operation.
7.3 CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS damaged, they are easily replaceable. The ARTIK 6 must be periodically serviced. An inspection must be The fabric and the lines do not need to be washed. If they become scheduled every 100 flying hours or every two years whichever comes dirty, clean them with a soft damp cloth, using only water.
