Measurement of the line lengths: Part of the regular data control is the measuring of the line
lengths.
– The lines must be measured with an attached load equal to 5 kgs to get comparable results.
You will find the corresponding line lengths in the air sports equipment data sheet of your
manual.
– The measuring is carried out in accordance with the DHV method from the line shackle to
the canopy (including the line loop on the canopy).
– Numbering takes place from the center of the wing to the stabilo. The measurement of the
opposite wing side can also be done by a symmetry comparison under the same conditions.
– The result is noted again in the inspection log and compared to the nominal line lengths of
the DHV type label. The tolerance deviation should not / - 1.5 cm.
– If a line is defective it must be replaced immediately. Please take the line code out of the line
plan, order from the manufacturer and then have them installed accordingly.
The determined values/modifications need to be recorded in the inspection log!
Visual check of trimming and adjustment
Before a check-flight the visual control of canopy and lines needs to be made with the equip-
ment laid out or pulled up. Especially the length of the steering lines (brake lines) should be
paid attention on at the pulled up glider. Only when all concerns about incorrect adjustment of
the control lines (brake lines) are eliminated, a check flight may be carried out.
Material description and technical data
See manual of your paraglider
Miscellaneous
– All inspection-, measuring- and repair works on paraglider and rescue system need to be

– When repacking the rescue system, it is essential to pay attention to the special way of
packing the rescue system! See manual of the reserve parachute.
– When replacing components only original materials or original spare parts may be used!
– For sewing work the original sewing pattern is to be observed, patch and thread material in
the same strength and quality as original need to be used!
– The Inspection and measuring log report need to be issued with signature, place and date.
– The retention period is 4 years.
