Piloting requirements
As a two-liner in the top segment of the EN C class, the TAU DLS is reserved exclusively for very experienced, performance-oriented cross-country and competition pilots. Several years of flying experience, regular practice with at least 100 flying hours per year and extensive experience on at least one sport class glider are required. The TAU DLS is not suitable as a transition glider to the C class.
High-C class gliders generally react dynamically to turbulence and pilot errors and require an active flying style, precise control technique and sound glider handling and SIV skills. Only with the appropriate experience can the full performance potential of the TAU DLS be safely exploited.
SIV
The TAU DLS is intended only for advanced pilots who are able to demonstrate above-average experience and competence in safety training. The TAU DLS is under no circumstances suitable for a pilot’s first experience with safety training. Special folding lines were used for certification of the TAU DLS. Without these folding lines, asymmetric collapses and front stalls vary from the EN guidelines.
