The start check is carried out immediately before launch to check the most important safety
points once again. It should always be carried out in the same sequence so that nothing is
overlooked. The points are:
1. Is your personal equipment in order (engine, harness, carabiners, reserve, helmet) and
are all straps done up?
2. Is the canopy arranged in a half-moon shape and are all the air intakes open?
3. Are all the lines untangled and are any lines under the canopy?
4. Are the trimmer positions correct and symmerical?
5. Does the weather, in particular wind direction and strength, allow a safe
fl
ight?
6. Is the propeller free?
7. Does the engine deliver full power?
8. Are the airspace and launch area clear?
