products. We will also send you safety
notices directly by email if you have
registered your product (refer to
“Product
Registration
” in the section “Swing on the
World Wide Web
”).
WARNING
The paraglider owner is responsible for
carrying out the action required by the
safety notice.
Safety notices are issued by the certification
agencies and also published on the relevant
websites. You should therefore visit on a
regular basis the safety pages of the
certification agencies and keep up-to-date
with new safety notices which cover any
products relating to paragliding (refer to
Appendix for addresses).
Services such as RSS are also
available which allow internet
users to follow various websites
and changes to them without
having to access them
individually. This allows much more
information to be followed than was
previously the case.

the glider is checked prior to every flight.

is airworthy. In addition, when flying outside
of Germany, pilots must observe the
relevant regulations in each country.
