Keep enough brake travel to avoid deep stall conditions. Use trimmers when necessary to improve pitch stability.
🧭 Monitor Weather Continuously
Watch cloud formation, thermal activity, and wind direction. Choose routes that allow for safe transitions and alternative landing zones.
🛑 Avoid Flying Near Obstructions
Steer clear of power lines, cliffs, and congested airspace. Maintain altitude buffers in dynamic conditions.

🛬 Landing Safely and Smoothly

🧭 Scout the Landing Zone in Advance
Choose flat, obstacle-free terrain with room for passenger glide path and final approach correction.
🪂 Flare Gradually, Not Abruptly
Execute a smooth two-stage flare. This improves passenger comfort and reduces risk of injury during contact with the ground.
👣 Passenger Briefing
Instruct passengers to run during landing or adopt the seated posture (depending on harness type and terrain).

🧠 Post-Flight Safety Habits

Pro Tips for Using the Supair SORA EVO Tandem Glider Like a Pro

Mastering the Supair SORA EVO Tandem Glider doesn’t stop at launch. To help you get the best from every flight, this section shares tried-and-true tips that will boost efficiency, reduce wear, and maximize comfort for both pilot and passenger.

Whether you’re flying for commercial tandem operations, giving instructional flights, or enjoying recreational two-person paragliding, the following insights will elevate your experience.

🧠 Before You Fly: Smart Setup Matters

1. Warm Up with a Ground Handling Session

Even for experienced tandem pilots, spending a few minutes practicing kiting will help you dial into current conditions. The SORA EVO responds beautifully to subtle inputs—practicing those on the ground translates to cleaner launches.

2. Organize Your Risers

Lay out risers cleanly and clip them in carefully. Avoid twisting or mismatching brake lines. Color-coded risers on the SORA EVO make this step faster—still, double-check everything.

3. Choose the Right Trimmer Setting

Start with neutral trimmers for normal wind conditions. In stronger winds, tighten them slightly for improved control. When you need more glide or speed, open them with caution and keep your brake inputs light.

✈️ During Launch: Confidence in Every Step

4. Take Advantage of Easy Inflation

Pull up the wing gently and progressively—there’s no need to yank. The SORA EVO climbs steadily and symmetrically, even in zero wind. Use that to your advantage for smoother passenger coordination.

5. Brief Your Passenger Like a Pro

Explain launch posture clearly. Keep it simple: “Lean forward, run with me, don’t sit too early.” That small briefing makes a huge difference for balanced takeoffs and stress-free ascents.

🪂 In the Air: Fly Smarter, Not Harder

6. Relax Your Inputs

The SORA EVO offers agile handling with minimal brake pressure. Avoid oversteering or applying excessive brake travel. Use smooth, consistent inputs for turning—especially in thermals or active air.

7. Adjust Trimmers Mid-Flight for Versatility

Trimmers give you control over pitch and speed. When transitioning into headwind or moving between thermals, adjust accordingly to optimize glide and reduce sink.

8. Use Weight-Shift in Turns

Combine gentle brake with coordinated weight-shift for smoother, more efficient curves. This reduces brake wear and enhances overall control, particularly with heavier passengers.

9. Communicate Throughout the Flight

Talk to your passenger. A calm tone reinforces trust. Let them know what you’re doing—especially when turning or descending—so they remain relaxed and cooperative.

🛬 Nailing the Landing: Smooth, Safe, and Stylish

10. Scout Your Landing Zone Early

Plan your approach in advance. Look for clear terrain with a predictable wind gradient. Always leave yourself a go-around option if conditions shift unexpectedly.

11. Flare Gradually, Not Suddenly

Practice your flare timing with the SORA EVO. The wing offers excellent flare authority, but timing is everything. Begin with gentle pressure, then commit to a firm finish for the smoothest touch-down.

12. Coach the Passenger for Touchdown

Whether you want them to run it out or prepare for seated landings (depending on harness type), give them a heads-up before the final descent. Clear guidance = better landings.

🧰 Post-Flight Tips: Maintain Your Gear, Extend Its Life

13. Pack with Care

Lay the glider down cell-by-cell if possible. Folding the wing neatly—especially the leading edge—prevents deformation. Avoid stuffing unless absolutely necessary.

14. Let It Dry Before Packing

Moisture buildup leads to premature fabric wear. If you’ve flown in humidity, rain, or early morning dew, lay the wing out to air-dry fully before long-term storage.

15. Check Lines and Risers After Each Session

Inspect for nicks, knots, or early signs of fray. The sheathed aramid lines on the SORA EVO are robust, but visual inspection is your first line of safety maintenance.

🎯 Bonus Tips from Tandem Pros

🌤️ Fly early or late in the day for smoother conditions, especially when flying beginner passengers. Midday thermals can be active—even though the SORA EVO handles them well, smoother air builds trust.
🏞️ Use visual landmarks when flying tourist passengers. Pointing out lakes, mountains, or villages adds excitement and keeps them engaged.
📸 Install a GoPro mount on the riser or pilot helmet. Capturing memories increases post-flight satisfaction—and can boost your business through word-of-mouth and social sharing.
🔁 Keep your flights efficient. With faster prep, easy inflation, and short turnarounds, the SORA EVO helps maximize the number of flights in a day without sacrificing safety or comfort.

✅ Summarized Use Tips for Quick Reference

💨 Inflate slowly, let the SORA EVO do the work
🪢 Double-check riser layout and trimmer positions
🧘 Brief passengers clearly and calmly
🪂 Combine brake input with weight shift for thermaling
🧭 Adjust trimmers in-flight based on conditions
🛬 Practice two-phase flares for smooth landings
