Maintenance:
Very small holes in the sail can be repaired with the sticky back tape. Damaged lines should
be replaced by your Aircross dealer.
Before fitting a replacement line, check it for length against its counterpart on the other side
of the wing. When a line has been replaced, always inflate the glider on flat ground to check
that everything is in order before flying. Major repairs, such as replacing panels, should only
be carried out by the distributor or manufacturer.
You should also check for any damage to your lines, sail, risers and connectors before each
flight.
After excess loads, like landing in trees, etc – and when you notice a change of flight
behavior you should check your line lenghts .
To keep the operating licence for your glider a regular check has to be made.
After every 150 hours flying time or every 2 years, whichever is sooner, your glider has to be
checked by the manufacturer or distributor. Otherwise the warranty will extinguish.
If you wish a earlier check, e.g.. extreme use of your glider, we inform you about the
condition of your glider and if some parts will need to be checked or changed before the
next normal service check period we will do this for you.
Disposal:
The synthetic materials used in a paraglider need a professional disposal.
Please send disused canopies back to AIRCROSS.
We will demount and dispose them.
In conclusion:
The U FLY is at the forefront of modern paraglider design. You will enjoy many safe years of
flying with your U FLY if you look after it correctly and adopt a mature and responsible
approach to the demands and dangers flying can pose.
It must be clearly understood that all air sports are potentially dangerous and that your
safety is ultimately dependent upon you. We strongly urge you to fly safely. This includes
your choice of flying conditions as well as safety margins during flying manoeuvres. We
recommend once more that you only fly with a certified harness, reserve chute, and helmet.
SEE YOU AT CLOUDBASE !
