Measuring the line lengths:
– The lines must be measured with a load of 5 kg, in order to obtain comparable results. The rele-
vant line lengths are in the technical data sheet of the user manual.
– The measurement takes place in accordance with DHV method, from the maillon to the canopy
(inclusive attachment loop at the sail).
– The numbering takes place from the center toward the stabilo Measuring the opposite facing of
the wing can under same conditions also be conducted by a symmetry comparison.
– The results are again noted the inspection log and should be compared side by side to line
lengths of the EAPR technical data sheet. The tolerance in deviation of these values should not
exceed more than + /- 1,5cm
– If a line is defective, it is to be exchanged immediately. Please acquire the identification reference
marking of the line from the line plan, order from the manufacturer and replace accordingly or
have it replaced.
The determined values/modifications are to be noted in the inspection log!
Occasional check of trim and adjustment
Before a test flight a visual inspection of the canopy and lines is to be conducted with the glider laid
out as well as pulled up inflated.
In particular attention should be paid to the length of the brake lines with the canopy inflated. Only
if all doubts are cleared concerning faulty adjustment of the brake lines, a check flight may be con-
ducted.
