Step 6 Take one line from the left and its sister line from the right and compare
them to one another. Check for symmetry and record any differences.
Proceed comparing symmetry of all lines.
Step 7 Check the stainless steel karabiners on each riser. Inspect the stitching
on each riser. Activate the speed system on each riser and confirm
correct operation of pulleys and all components.
Step 8 Inspect backpack and accessories.
Step 9 In the report remarks section, you should note the general condition of
the glider. Any significant findings from the previous steps should be
explained. Any repairs conducted should be identified. Any material or
production related problems should be clearly indicated. A copy of your
report must be sent to ICARO headquarters for quality control and gua-
rantee purposes.
If the glider is in sub-standard condition, the inspection interval should
be reduced to 12 months or even shorter, as deemed appropriate.
A glider may be deemed unsafe for flying or un-repairable, in which
case the report should clearly indicate this, and the pilot informed to
discontinue flying it.
Mark of certification-proof
An authorized ICARO technician should date and sign the glider certification
label as proof of the inspection.
