GLIDER CHECKLIST
Before delivery, as well as during production, each Chronos paramotoring glider goes
through a strict visual inspection. Additionally, we recommend that you check your new
glider in accordance with the following points below. The Chronos is a form of aircraft
and should be treated as such. We also recommend that you make these checks after
flying extreme manoeuvres, tree landings or similar events.

Inspect the canopy for tears or damage. Pay particular attention to the seams. Look
at where the ribs join at the upper and lower surfaces and the areas of the
attachment tapes and brake-line connections.

Inspect the lines for damage and look for damaged stitching. The line lengths must
be checked after 50 hours flying time and/or whenever the flight behaviour of the
glider changes.

Inspect the attachment points for damage to the stitches. It is equally important to
free brake-lines from tangles before each flight.

Inspect the risers for overall condition and check for frayed seams. Rapid links must
be secured.
Understand that with slight damage the glider could lose its airworthiness! Fly safe by
spending extra time to perform regular checks on your gear.
