4.0 FLYING YOUR “KOMPRESS”
Pre-flight Inspection
Before your first flight, and before every flight, it is absolutely essential to perform a pre-flight
inspection on your aircraft.
WARNING! Failure to perform a sufficient preflight has been a contributing factor to accidents in all
kinds of aircraft. Equipment damage, bodily injury, even death can occur due to equipment problems
not caught in a preflight inspection.
As the saying goes, “Preflight as if your life depends on it, because it does!”
The essential items to check are:

PARAGLIDER – check canopy and lines integrity, belts conditions.

ENGINE – check everything is ok , the silent-block integrity and gasoline mixture level.

PROPELLER – blades integrity, bolts clamping.

RECOVERY SYSTEM (if there is) – ready and safety catch off.

CAGE ASSEMBLY – check all the Velcro straps and all blockings.
