Repairs
Only use original ICARO parts for repairing your glider. If you don´t you lose
the guarantees for your glider.
Small holes in the canopy (max. 20x20 mm) can be repaired by the pilot by using
self adhesive sailcloth on both sides of the perforation.
Damage to the lines or any other repairs should only be carried out at an
authorized ICARO centre. If your
SPEEDUP
needs to be repaired, please contact
your local ICARO paragliders dealer.
Inspection
It is important to have your
SPEEDUP
inspected by a trained ICARO technician
but it is also allowed to check your glider for yourself. In the annex you find the
regulations for checks of certified gliders and items in order to perform a paraglider
inspection you need.
Inspection interval
12
months
or
100
operating hours
,
depending on what occurs sooner.
ICARO recommends having wings that are often used for training of descent
exercises, acrobatics or flying in salty ore sandy conditions subjected to checkups
all 50 operating hours or 6 month.
It is also important, that ground handling also will be considered. All gliders,
specially gliders manufactured with light and thin material are mechanically more
stressed than other gliders. Therefore ICARO recommends to multiply ground
handling time with the factor 1,5.
Not only gliders have a recurrent inspection interval. Airworthiness of harnesses,
snap hooks and rescue systems must also be verified. Generally it is
recommended to change aluminium snap hooks after 24 months or 200 operating
hours.
All inspections and repairs must be documented
(manual page 2).
