3. GENERAL ADVICE ABOUT FLYING SPORT
Taking part in flying sport requires appropriate training and a satisfactory understanding of the
relevant equipment, as well as the necessary insurance and licensing. A pilot must be capable of
correctly assessing the weather conditions before a flight takes place. Before every flight, all items
of flying equipment must be checked for damage and airworthiness.
Every pilot bears sole responsibility for all risks associated with flying sport, includ
-
ing injury or death. Neither the manufacturer nor seller of a reserve parachute can be
held responsible for, nor can guarantee the safety of the pilot.
