Multi-line pair compulsory figures

Precision, multiplied.
Flying in pairs with multi-line kites is all about mastering coordination in multiple dimensions. You’re not just flying in sync — you’re sharing space, timing, and movement with extra degrees of control. These figures are designed to test and develop that shared precision.

This page lists all the official ISK compulsory figures for Multi-line Pair Precision, based on the 3.0 version of the ISK rulebook (April 1st, 2017). Each one includes its diagram and full description—tools to help your team fine-tune spacing, timing, and technical control.

  3. At 70˄ transition to forward flight level flight, parallel to original line of entry.
  4. Call out immediately above the point where IN was called.

📖 Conclusion

Multi-line pair flying demands patience, timing, and mutual understanding. These figures aren’t just tests — they’re training grounds for becoming a better flyer together.

Pick one, fly it together, and feel how every movement starts to speak the same language.
