Check

 

The general check interval is two years, unless the checker sets the check interval to a shorter time because of a heavily used

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

     

 

 

wing. 

Commercially used equipment (school gliders, tandems) must always be checked every year. This is also recommended for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

gliders under heavy load, e.g. with more than 150 flight hours in two years, or with regularly flown acro maneuvers. We also

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

recommend an annual check if there is a lot of flying in terrain that puts a plenty of strain on the material: in rocky areas, in salty

   

 

   

         

   

 

 

   

   

   

 

   

 

   

 

air, or especially in salt water contact. 

In these cases it is even more than usual for the pilot to regularly check his glider for damage. 

Each check must be confirmed by the check-stamp. In case of non-compliance, the quality seal expires. For further information

Environment friendly behaviour

 

Finally, we would like to call on you to operate our sport as nature and landscape friendly as possible. In addition to self-evident

 

 

 

   

   

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

   

   

   

 

things, such as not to leave garbage, you should also avoid to scare animals by flying nearby. Especially in the cold season, this

 

   

   

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

stress can be life-threatening for animals. 

Disposal

 

The plastic materials used in a paraglider require proper disposal. Please return your used wing to PHI: it will be disassembled

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

   

   

 

and disposed by us.
