Inspection Instructions
Record Information
Spread out your paraglider in a big bright room and make a note of information
such as model, type and serial number.
Porosity Test
Use your porosity meter to perform porosity checks at 4 different places of the
canopy. The results are recorded in the inspection protocol and are to be
evaluated according to the internal guidelines of the workshop.
Visual Control of the Canopy
Hang up the canopy so that you can do a visual check of your canopy. Check for
perforations in the upper and lower sailcloth, damaged stitching between the
cells, and damage to the leading/trailing edge reinforcements.
Each cell must be checked.
Visual Control of the Risers and Lines
Check the risers, the trimmers, the stitching at each line loop, the brake lines, all
seams, and line contact points. Each line must be measured and inspected for
kinks.
Strength test of the lines
One complete A-and B- line must be removed, measured and submitted to a
strength test. The measured value of each individual line must be noted in the
inspection protocol. The minimum of the l
ine’s
strength are 125% of the
normative guidelines.
