Inspection periods
Failure to observe the inspection periods shall render invalid the certi�cation and warranty.
A properly completed logbook with details of all �ying and training will help you to comply
with these periods.
A quali�ed professional should perform a formal maintenance inspection no later than
36 months after the �rst �ight or after 200 hours (including ground handling), whichever is
sooner. Subsequent inspections should be carried out every 24 months or 150 hours
(including ground handling), whichever is sooner.
Ground handling time must be at least doubled when calculating the total hours of use
because of the increased wear and tear on the glider. If you ground handle frequently or �y in
harsh conditions, we recommend an annual check. It is your responsibility as a pilot to ensure
that your wing is airworthy at all times.
For gliders used in training, an inspection must be carried out every 12 months from the date
of purchase.
A full inspection will give you peace of mind and extend your glider's lifetime. Additional
inspections should be performed by a quali�ed person following a crash or violent landing on
the leading edge, or if you note a deterioration of performance or behaviour.
Service and repair shops authorized by Gin gliders are in possession of the Gin Gliders
service instruction, which contains all the necessary procedures, equipment and additional
technical information about the Bolero 6, such as single line lengths, sewing and further
material and processing guidelines.
Validity of inspection
It is very important that your glider is serviced at the required intervals throughout its entire
life. In order to bene�t from Gin Gliders warranty:
●
You must have your paraglider inspected by Gin Gliders or an inspection agent
authorised by Gin Gliders.
●
The documentation and the result of the inspection must be clearly identi�able (date
and place / name of the inspector) and be entered near the glider
information/certi�cation sticker.
Inspection by the pilot
Under § 14 para. 5 of the German Aeronautical Products Investigation Order (LuftGerPV), pilots
in Germany are able to carry out the inspections themselves or appoint a third party to do so
(e.g. manufacturer/importer), provided that the requirements are all ful�lled. However, if this is
done, the liability and warranty of Gin Gliders will lapse.
The DHV recommends that inspection is carried out by the manufacturer/importer or by an
authorised inspection agent .
