GENERAL

Dear MAC PARA pilot

We congratulate you on your purchase of a MAC PARA paraglider. Extensive

development work and numerous tests make the Pasha 5 a high performance biplace

paraglider with maximum possible safety. The Pasha 5 is constructed for thermal and

cross-country flying, and will enable pilots to get maximum enjoyment. The Pasha 5

offers very easy inflation and simple ground-handling characteristics by take off,

excellent handling in flight and easy landing. Please read this manual carefully before

you start, this way you will get the most out of your glider, and enjoy many nice flights.

MAC PARA wish you many pleasant flights with your Pasha 5.

Please read this manual carefully and note following details:

Paragliding is a sport, which demands, besides the optimum equipment, a high degree

of attentiveness, good judgement, and theoretical knowledge. Paragliding can be a

dangerous sport, which may lead to injury and death. This paraglider meets at the time

of delivery requirements of the EN (European Norm) 926 or LTF (German Certificate of

Airworthiness). Any alternations to the paraglider will render its certification invalid! The

use of this paraglider is solely at the user's own risk! Manufacturer and distributor do not

accept any liability. Pilots are responsible for their own safety and their paraglider

airworthiness. The paraglider carries no warranty! The author assumes that the pilot is

in possession of a valid paragliding licence for glider's category, insurance etc.

Before delivery, as well as during production, each paraglider goes through a strict

visual inspection, and is test-flown by your dealer. Stamps on the placard, together with

a completed test-flight certificate, confirm this. Check that the paraglider has been test-

flown before your first take-off. If it has not, consult your dealer.

Any inadequate use or misuse increases the risks considerably. The Pasha 5 must not

be used outside the certified weight range. The Pasha 5 must not be used during rain or

snow-fall. The Pasha 5 must not be used in high or gusty winds. The Pasha 5 must not

be used in cloud and fog. The Pasha 5 must not be used by pilots without sufficient

knowledge or experience.

If, after carefully reading this handbook, you still have questions, suggestions or

criticism regarding this product do not hesitate to contact your dealer or us. We will be

glad to help and advice.

MAC PARA wish you many pleasant flights with your

Pasha 5

Operating limits

The Pasha 5 has been tested by DHV certification laboratory to LTF B / EN-B category.

The Pasha 5 is certified for tandem flight. The Pasha 5 has been load and shock-tested

and passed with a load corresponding to 8G of the maximum weight in flight 220 kg. Its

flying tests have shown that the glider remains stable and controllable over a wide range

of normal and abnormal flight conditions. Nevertheless, turbulence and gusting winds

can lead to a partial or complete collapse of the canopy. Therefore never fly in such

conditions.

Any changes made to this paraglider invalidate the certificate of airworthiness.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Construction of the canopy:

The canopy of the PASHA 5 consists of 54 cells over the wingspan. The wingtips are

slightly pulled down and this produces a kind of stabilizer. The Pasha 5 is a second rib

diagonal-construction paraglider. Every second main rib is attached to the 4 or 5

suspension lines. Between these main suspension ribs, intermediate ribs are

suspended by diagonal segments. These segments do not lead to top surface of canopy

but are attached at 80% of rib's height. This construction ensures a smooth top surface

and precise airfoil reproduction. The internal reinforcements maintain the precise form of

the canopy and provide stability. The cell openings on the under-surface of the profile’s

nose provide airflow into the glider. Stretch resistant flares, integrated with diagonal ribs

at the suspension points, ensure an even distribution of load throughout the canopy. A

stretch resistant Mylar strip on the top and bottom panels alongside the openings and

running the length of the trailing edge defines the wingspan, together with an optimized

sail tension; this guarantees high form stability. Large cross ports allow effective airflow

inside the canopy, providing good re-inflation without reducing the profile accuracy.

The Pasha 5 is mainly made of the proven Nylon fabrics Porcher Marine Skytex Rip-

stop 9017 E25A and 9017 E29A. Like any synthetic material, this can deteriorate

through excessive exposure to UV.

Rigging system:

The lines of the Pasha 5 are made of proven strong and stretch resistant Polyester HMA

Aramid/Kevlar (yellow core) lines and PES/Dynema (white core) lines. The entire rigging

system comprises individual suspension lines looped and stitched at each end. The

Aramid lines have strengths from 60 up to 420 kg. The Aramid cascade lines have

strengths from 80kg up to 160 kg.

The suspension lines are comprised of “cascaded top lines” (attached to the under-

surface),”cascaded middle lines” (cascade 3 to top lines together on outermost main

lines), and “main lines”. Main lines lead to the “quick link” (a Maillon which connects

lines and risers). The “stabilizer lines” connect the upper stabilizer lines on the outer

suspension points with the quick link. The “brake lines” are not load carrying suspension

lines. They lead from the trailing edge of the canopy to the main brake lines and run to

the brake handles through the pulleys attached to the D-risers.

(&(

A mark on the main brake line indicates the position of the brake handle. This

adjustment, on the one hand, allows sufficient brake to be applied during extreme flying

situations and when landing, while on the other hand, this ensures that brakes are not

permanently applied to the canopy (especially when fully accelerated). This trimming

should not be altered. For differentiation purposes the A-lines are coloured red, the

brake lines are orange, all remaining lines are yellow. Also the main suspension loop,

on the bottom of the riser, is covered red. This is where the main karabiner should be

hooked in, which then in turn connects the risers to the harness.

The Pasha 5 is equipped with 5 risers per side (A, A1, B, C, D). The two central A-lines

per side are attached to the main A-risers while the outermost A main lines are attached

to A1 risers. The 3 B-main lines and the stabilizer lines are attached to the B-riser. The

3 C-main lines to the C-riser. The 3 D-main lines to the D-riser. The main brake lines

leads through the pulleys on the D riser.

The line connections are made to triangular Maillons (quick links) fitted with a rubber

”o- ring” in the form of a ”figure eight” which prevents any slipping of the lines on the

quick link. See line plans for details.

Risers with trim system:

Each of the riser sets of the Pasha 5 has a lockable trimmer.

The trim system shortens and lengthens the B, C and D risers and changes the angle of

attack. In normal flight, all risers are in a "neutral position" and are of equal length (46

cm to the bottom edge of the rapid links). This position is marked with a white line on

the trimmer straps. When you pull down the straps that run through the trimmers, the B-

risers are shortened up to 1 cm, C-straps up to 2.5 cm, and the D-risers up are

shortened to

5 cm. When you open the trims (push the trim buckles) , the B-risers are extended up to

1 cm, C-straps up to 2.5 cm, and the D risers are extended by up to 5 cm.

Operation and handling:

Connect the risers to the spreader-bars before take off. It is important to ensure that the

hook points on each spreader bar are equal. By pulling the straps that run through the

trimmers, the B / C / D straps are shortened. This increases the angle of attack and the

glider flies slower. By opening the trimmers, the B / C / D risers are extended.

This decreases the angle of attack and therefore the glider flies faster.

Trim

The glider is delivered with a five riser system and tandem spreader-bars. Its speed

varies in the range from 36 - 47 km/h depending on the wing loading and position of the

trimmers. The brake lines should always be adjusted so that the first brake-lines just

come under tension when the brake handles have been pulled 5 - 10 cm. The test

results relate to this brake-line adjustment. In extreme situations other settings may lead

to the glider reacting differently. To be able at all times to react quickly enough to

possible problems; you should not let go of the brake handles during the flight (it may be

possible to hold both handles in one hand). Alter the line length to bring the handles to a

suitable height when using your harness.

Safety equipment

An optimal outfit should be a matter of course for every paraglider pilot. Always wear

stout footwear, a helmet, and gloves. Clothing should be warm and allow sufficient

freedom of movement. A rescue-system can be life-saving in case of an irremediable

disturbance of the canopy, collapse in the air or material failure, and is therefore

imperative.

Tandem spreader bar

The PASHA 5 tandem spreader-bar allows varied attachment possibilities, allowing for

the difference in heights and weights of pilot and passenger. Changing the main

attachment (karabiner - min. strength 24 kN) position can allow for weight difference: the

front position (3) for heavier passengers or if their weights are the same and the back

position (4) for lighter passengers. The passenger weight is always compared to the

weight of the pilot!

The rescue system bridle must be connected to main suspension point on the spreader-

bar (3 or 4). It is possible to use a separator karabiner (min. strength 24 kN) for the

rescue system, clipped in to the same loop as the main karabiner. The rescue system

bridle must not be connected only to the pilot's or passenger's harness or to the

spreader-bar's hang points.

WARNING: The karabiners used in position 3 or 4 must be karabiners designed

for tandem flight, which means the minimum strength must be 24 kN.

(Recommendation Austrialpin Powerfly, Austrialpin Delta). This applies also to

the karabiner used for the attachment of the rescue system in Position 3 or 4.

1. Passenger’s hang point.

2. Passenger’s hang point.

3. Main suspension and rescue system attachment point, when passenger is heavier

than the pilot or when passenger is the same weight as the pilot.

4. Main suspension and rescue system attachment point, Main suspension and

rescue system attachment point, when passenger is lighter than the pilot.

5. Suspension point for the pilot.

HARNESS

The Pasha 5 is certified with LTF GH type certified harnesses. Nearly all harnesses

available on the market are type “GH”.

These “GH” harnesses are different to “GX“ harnesses, which have a lower attachment

point for the main karabiners and effective cross bracing. The Pasha 5 was not tested

with harnesses with an effective cross bracing system.

Any certified harness with a hang point at about chest height may be used with the

Pasha 5 (37-50cm over seat plate). The distance between left and right main karabiners

should be between 45 and 60cm, depending on the size of the pilot and the type of the

harness. Please note: the hang point position changes the position of the brakes relative

to the pilot's body.
