WARNING: Always replace damaged lines.
A damaged line can cause loss of control
of the glider
For all other repairs and maintenance, please see your dealer or specialist repair shop.
Replacement lines can be ordered from your GIN dealer. Check replacement lines for length
against its counterpart on the other side of the wing. Always perform a test inflation on flat
ground to check everything is in order before flying.
Inspection period
A qualified professional should perform a formal maintenance inspection no later than 30
months after the first flight or after 200 hours, whichever is sooner. Subsequent inspections
should be carried out every 24 months or 200 hours, whichever comes sooner. Inspection should
consist of measurements of the fabric porosity, tear resistance, line strengths, line lengths and a
full visual check. The full protocol is available on our website.
If you groundhandle frequently or fly in harsh conditions, we recommend an annual check. It’s
your responsibility as a pilot to ensure that your wing is airworthy at all times.
