1.2 CERTIFICATION
The load test proved that the wing can withstand the stipulated 8G.
Only the aeronautical authorities of respective countries can determine pilot competence.
We recommend pilots read the flight test report carefully, especially the comments of the test pilot. The
report contains all the necessary information on how the paraglider reacts during each of the tested
manoeuvres.

enjoying the flight. And, with active piloting, take advantage of all favourable conditions.
In all aspects of flight, the wing is very solid and stable. The glide is smooth, even when fully accelerated.
During glides, the wing maintains altitude and the wing remains stable. Improved turn precision means
handling is less physical and provides better feedback. Inflating the wing is much easier and gentler, without
overshooting.
Flying this wing is very intuitive, with clear and useful feedback about the airmass. It responds to the pilot’s
range of speed for incredible glides.

Correctly connect the risers to the attachment points so that the risers and lines are correctly ordered and
free of twists. Check that the carabiners are properly fastened and securely locked.

The KOYOT 5 P can be flown with all current harness types. We recommend setting the chest strap to the
