Before you perform any checks and/or repairs yourself on your glider, we ask to read you the fol-
lowing pages carefully. You inform yourself hereby about prerequisites and conditions of a done in
person bi-annual inspection.
– According to new DHV regulation, the customer (Glider-owner) can conduct the 2-yearly check
of the canopy with the help of the inspection directions and all necessary testing equipment and
documents in person on his own responsibility. In addition the wing does not have to be sent in to
the manufacturer.
– The 2-yearly check may only be conducted by the glider owner personally, if he fulfils the prereq-
uisites, or an inspection station authorized by the manufacturer. Inquire therefore with the manufac-
turer on authorized inspection stations.
– The owner of the canopy must be aware of the responsibility, which he takes with a self conduct-
ed 2-yearly check of the glider. The self performed 2-yearly check is only legally effective, if this is
acknowledged after the check with date, name (in capitals) and signature on or beside the placard.
