This can be very dangerous, because now the
forces on the line have to be controlled by the moving object itself, which is
almost impossible to do, unless stretchy rope and a pressure/tension meter
(dynamometer) is used. Static line towing with stretchy rope and a load cell as
a tension meter has been used in Poland, Ukraine, Russia, and other Eastern
European countries for over twenty years (under the name Malinka) with about
the same safety record as other forms of towing.[21] One more form of towing is
hand towing. This is where 1−3 people pull a paraglider using a tow rope of up
to 500 feet. The stronger the wind, the fewer people are needed for a
successful hand tow.[22] Tows up to 300 feet have been accomplished, allowing
the pilot to get into a lift band of a nearby ridge or row of buildings and
ridge-soar in the lift the same way as with a regular foot launch.[23]

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. 金山区质量滑翔伞价格行情
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.
In some modern paragliders (from the 1990s
onwards), especially higher-performance wings, some of the cells of the leading
edge are closed to form a cleaner aerodynamic profile. Holes in the internal
ribs allow a free flow of air from the open cells to these closed cells to
inflate them, and also to the wingtips, which are also closed.[13]
The pilot is supported underneath the wing
by a network of suspension lines. These start with two sets of risers made of
short (40 cm) lengths of strong webbing. Each set is attached to the harness by
a carabiner, one on each side of the pilot, and each riser of a set is generally
attached to lines from only one row of its side of wing. At the end of each
riser of the set, there is a small delta maillon with a number (2 – 5) of lines
attached, forming a fan. These are typically 4 – 5 metres long, with the end
attached to 2 − 4 further lines of around 2 m, which are again joined to a
group of smaller, thinner lines. In some cases this is repeated for a fourth
cascade.
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.

Reverse launches have a number of
advantages over a forward launch. It is more straightforward to inspect the
wing and check if the lines are free as it leaves the ground. In the presence
of wind, the pilot can be tugged toward the wing, and facing the wing makes it
easier to resist this force and safer in case the pilot slips (as opposed to
being dragged backwards). However, the movement pattern is more complex than
forward launch, and the pilot has to hold the brakes in a correct way and turn
to the correct side so he does not tangle the lines. These launches are
normally attempted with a reasonable wind speed, making the ground speed
required to pressurise the wing much lower.
The launch is initiated by the hands
raising the leading edge with the As. As it rises the wing is controlled more
by centring the feet than by use of the brakes or Cs. With mid level wings (EN
C and D) the wing may try to "overshoot" the pilot as it nears the
top. This is checked with Cs or brakes. The wing becomes increasingly sensitive
to the Cs and brakes as its internal air pressure rises.
