Pilot target group
The AIRDESIGN SUSI 4 flown in the standard loading range is an easy-going EN/LTF A glider
which is suitable for training.
The main focus during design was on safety and maximum forgiveness in handling, but with an
eye to handling and performance.
The SUSI 4 is perfectly suited for beginner pilots looking for a glider with maximum safety. Long
brake travel and excellent passive safety, as well as the good stability make the SUSI 4 ideal for
progression.
The SUSI 4 sits well within the limits of the LTF/EN-A class as proven by the certification test
results in all manoeuvres.
When the AIRDESIGN SUSI 4 is flown in the extended loading range the glider gets faster and
even more agile. Despite the general safety characteristics do not change much the pilot
requirements are getting higher. Therefore, the SuSi 4 was rated in the extended range within
B, C and D.
To help you in your decision we made a chart. If you are looking for a basic wing like being
flown conventionally, then choose according to the fields with green background.
Higher loadings will increase the trim-speed and therefore levels up the pilot requirements.
Actually, the glider itself will keep its character but give you even more options – like for
strong-wind soaring conditions or even more fun.
LTF and EN certification
The AIRDESIGN SUSI 4 has been type-tested during official testing within EN-A, B, C and D
The glider has been type-tested for "one-seated" use only.
