10.3 Daily Inspection
The daily webbing inspection must include at least a visual inspection suffi-
cient to evaluate the wear and integrity of the device’s webbing. Please see
“Webbing Wear” below for a detailed description of when a webbing should be
taken out of service. The inspection may be performed from the ground if the
webbing can be adequately inspected.
10.3.1 UPPER WEBBING INSPECTION
INSPECT BOTH UPPER WEBBING LINES DAILY IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
The Upper Webbing lines in the QuickFlight are consumable wear components
which require daily inspection and periodic replacement when they show signs
of wear, damage, or contamination. More frequent inspection may be required
for high throughput facilities or when operating in harsh environments. Refer
to the Upper Webbing Wear Tables below for examples of acceptable and un-
acceptable wear of QuickFlight and QuickFlight XL Upper Webbing lines. These
tables do not include all possible types of wear or damage. If in doubt, remove
webbing from service. Webbing must be removed from service if it does not
pass inspection. Refer to the Upper Webbing Wear Troubleshooting Table for
possible causes of accelerated webbing wear. Continued use of webbing be-
yond stated limits may result in separation, disconnecting the Participant from
the QuickFlight Free Fall Device.
To inspect the Upper Webbing lines, simultaneously extract the entire length of
both lines from the device and carefully examine both edges and faces of each
webbing for wear or damage including:
Damage to stitching
Cuts to the face or edges
UV degradation including discoloration, fading, brittleness, or chalking
Hard fibers
Surface glazing or melting appearance
Permanent deformation or warping
Contamination from chemicals, dirt, grit, sand, dust, etc.
