PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION
Before your first flight, and before every flight, it is absolutely essential to perform a pre-
flight inspection on your aircraft.
WARNING!
Failure to perform a sufficient pre-flight has been a contributing factor to
accidents in all kinds of aircraft. Equipment damage, bodily injury, even death can occur
due to equipment problems not caught in a pre-flight inspection.
As the saying goes, “Pre-flight as if your life depends on it, because it does!”
The essential items to check are:
TRIKE
-
All the wires well tensioned and tension rods tighten with nuts locked
- Check all the Velcro straps and all blockings.
PARAGLIDER
– Check the lines and canopy integrity.
ENGINE
- Silent-block integrity , muffler stability and integrity
- Gasoline mixture level.
PROPELLER
– Blades integrity, bolts clamping.
RECOVERY SYSTEM
(if installed) – ready and safety catch off.
HANG POINT OF PARAGLIDER
– single seat or double seat
TAKE-OFF ASSISTANCE
SYSTEM
(if installed) – correct belts hooking
WARNING!
If after having flown with only the paramotor, install it on the trike and
use
the same wing
, it is important to check the length of the brake lines which must be
lengthened by an average of at least 20 cm (8 inches).
