After the DHV-Info No. 162 on this startup was a lot to read what I - I really confused, I - to say the least taken this opportunity to take my personal procedure to a very close look.
First, in anticipation: "Left-Turn-Off" is the typical right-handed or unscrewing those drivers who drive the Skat or snowboard, the position of "Regular" as their considered "best side". I turn in this direction, so I will write to 'right-spin-off "anything.
This start preparation and launch method has the following advantages:
- The "Start" is divided clearly into the starting preparation and the actual launch process.
- The preparation is not rash in addition to the launch site may take place in a sheltered area, only the actual startup of the launch site is occupied.
- On good days, thermally come this way many pilots without (over-) long wait times even on small or busy launching sites (even without starting helper) well and safely in the air.
- The start Reverse provides better visual inspection of the screen and therefore a better and earlier take-off ability as the forward start.

only requirement is a bit in wind that blows on thermal days at the launch site in most cases. Start Without wind, I always run forward.
I start preparation in addition to the launch site (possibly in a wind-protected area)
first Sort lines
The lines I sort, as is standard in forward start. The A-lines above, then B, C and D lines. Finally, the brake lines. Now I'm facing the screen below the two risers. The right wing side in the direction of flight is to the left and the left side right wing in the direction of flight before me.
second Right shoulder strap and hook add
I now on the right shoulder strap in the direction of flight. This is from my perspective to the screen facing the lying next to me carrying strap. I think the strap so that the A-lines show up and the brake handle is hanging down.
I carry the strap on my right harnesscarabiner. I twist the strap to the length of something in a clockwise direction. Now I can attach the strap to the carabiner such that the A-lines level comes to lie outside the top. Now I still hang on the accelerator is a right strap, although I seeing to it that the Accelerator outside of the strap-free running.
third Take the left shoulder strap and hook
I am now on the left shoulder strap in the direction of flight. This is from my screen facing the prospect of lying on my right front shoulder strap. I also think that strap with the A-lines up and hold the brake handle is hanging down. I put this strap
on the already mounted (in flight direction right) shoulder strap and carry him to my left harnesscarabiner. I roll this Tragengurt lengthwise slightly counterclockwise. Now I can attach the strap into the left carabiner. The A-lines outside the top-level comes to lie. Last I hang still left an accelerator, and I shall ensure that the accelerator on the outside of strap-free running.
4th "Hold" until the start
I can now draw the lines and draw together the screen into a rosette. This screen Rosette I can well go to the launch site or if their place in the queue of the pilots at the launch site.
As soon as I start with my turn, I need only take the shield rose on the launch pad and stretch their lead. Start blowing little wind, but I have to pull the screen by hand from the rose and spread.
Following is the actual start.
II The original start
1. Brakes engage
I make sure I have time, that the left shoulder strap in the direction of flight (in the left harnesscarabiner is suspended) over the right shoulder strap in the direction of flight (in the right harnesscarabiner is suspended) is located. The risers and lines are in my view the pilot is now an "X".
I reach with my right hand in the right direction of flight brake (from the "bottom" hanging strap lying). Here I make sure that I right side (almost by "outside") grab the harness over to grab the brake handle. Then I check the brake handle in the hand, whether the brake line completely from the brake roller to the handle free running.
Now I take with the left hand brake on the left in the direction of flight (from the "top" hanging strap lying). Here I make sure that I right side (virtually from the "inside") grab the harness over to grab the brake handle.
Now I check very closely with the brake handle in the left hand, if the brake lines running well, they must be free of the brake handle to the lead role, while running over the "lower" shoulder strap.
second A-lines include
I reach with my left hand (in which already is in the direction of flight left brake) both A-lines, belts, and put the straps together in parallel, so that the risers are aligned. I verify that the free (in flight direction) left brake line is on both risers.
third D-lines include
The D-linen belts now hang "under" two belts down. I access the D-linen straps, right hand at the level of brake line roles. I put the straps together in parallel, so that the brake line roles each show to the "outside".
4.Schirm "spread", 5-point flight check
If the wind is sufficient to start, I prefer slightly with his left hand to the A-lines-lines, to fill the screen with air and spread. If necessary. must I put more time on screen easy to open completely. By train the right hand, I can prevent the screen by the D-lines-belts on the rise or slowing down in stronger wind (or a blast) I'm also against the screen, which counteracts the rise.
If the screen spread out at the launch site following the 5-point check:
- open umbrella?
- linen hung freely and accelerator?
- carabiner, harness, leg straps and closed esp. helmet?
- Airspace?
- Wind from the front and apply other appropriate?
5th Screen raise
I wind up the screen with the train left hand over the two A-lines-belts. I have to start in low wind may go a few steps backwards down the slope. Side outbreak of the screen I can correct by moving the rebellious hands to the right or left. I watch the screen carefully when mounting.
If the screen is not completely open or Leinenverhänger see, I break from the start, as I train the left hand completely be declining and train with the right hand over the D-linen straps the shield of an emergency and return to base let it fall, with stronger winds, I predict the take-off up the hill running to relieve the screen.
6th Left-turning around and starting
If the screen in airworthy State of me, I let go of the A-and D-lines-belts and now controls the brakes on the screen. I make sure that the brake is still turning out to cross over, virtually "backwards" effect.
now I turn to the left. I check the screen on the brakes.
It follows the acceleration and lift-off. I
remains after lift-off in an upright and keep running until I've won plenty of hand position. In this flight phase I focus special attention to potential problems. Only after reaching a safe distance from the slope of at least 50 m and 75 m better I sit in my harness.
