Safe flying rules
 Observe UL aircraft regulations.
 Do not overestimate your pilot skills and never show off. Use open areas
for emergency landing training.
 Watch the weather forecast carefully. Do not plan long flights, when storms,
fogs or frost are forecasted.
 Watch fuel level (flight time and real consumption).
 When hoosing the direction and height of your flight always consider
possibility of emergency landing.
 Always fly with reserve of speed, particularly during all start and landing
manoeuvres.
 Do not make any kind of aerobatics (e.g. total wingovers), even if you think,
your skills and flight characteristics of your MPG can manage it.
 Do not underestimate the navigation and flight planning. Do not fly into a
unknown area without proper preparation and equipment (map, compass).
 Fly only in good physical and mental condition.
