Flying with the Haven
Pre-flight checks
For maximum safety, use a complete and consistent system of pre-flight checks and
repeat the same mental sequence every flight.
Check that:

There is no visible damage to the harness or carabiners that could affect its
airworthiness. The rescue parachute container is closed correctly and the pins are
in the right position. The deployment handle is completely inserted into the elastic
pockets.

All buckles, belts, zips are securely fastened. Buckles should click into place as you
close them, and a gentle pull on the fastened buckle verifies this. Secure any zips
after fastening the buckles. Take extra care in snowy or sandy environments.

The paraglider is connected correctly to the harness and both carabiners are
secured by their locking mechanisms.

The speed bar is attached correctly to the glider.

All pockets are closed properly and any loose items are tied down safely.

Check again that you have closed your leg and chest straps before you take off!
Take off with Haven
Check that the cocoon straps are loose enough so that you can put your legs inside the
cocoon without any problem after take off. Having legs inside, strech your legs and the
cocoon closes automaticaly.
