Preparation   for   launch 

 

a

Follow   a   consistent   routine   every   time   you   

fl

y.   This   is   very   important   for   safety.   We   recommend  

the   following   procedure:  

 

   

}

Check   the   following   condition   of   your   paraglider   and   other   

fl

ying   equipment   before   every   

fl

ight:    

Is   the   glider   fabric   free   from   tears   or   other   damage?  

Are   the   lines   free   from   knots,   tangles   or   other   damage?  

Are   the   brake   lines   freely   and   

fi

rmly   connected   to   the   handle?  

Is   the   brake   line   length   correctly   adjusted?  

Are   the   maillons   connecting   the   lines   and   risers   closed   and   secured?  

Is   the   glider   dry?  

Are   the   risers   and   carabiners   in   good   condition?  

Is   your   harness   in   good   condition?  

Is   your   rescue   handle   secure   and   rescue   pin   in?  

}
   

}

A   careful   pre-

fl

ight   check   is   required   for   any   type   of   aircraft.   Make   sure   that   you   exercise   the  

same   level   of   care   each   time   carry   out   the   check.  

Once   you   have   arrived   at   the   take-off,   you   should   

fi

rst   take   a   look   at   the   conditions:  

observe   wind   speed   and   wind   direction,   airspace,   turbulence   and   thermal   cycles.  

Check   your   paraglider,   harness,   rescue   handle   and   pin,   helmet   and   other   equipment.  

Choose   a   wide   starting   place,   as   uniform   as   possible   and   free   from   obstacles.  

Put   on   your   harness   and   be   sure   to   close   the   leg   straps!   Then   put   on   your   helmet.  
Proceed   in   the   same   way   with   the   passenger.  

Place   the   paraglider   in   a   curved   shape   and   sort   the   lines.  

Connect   the   riser   to   the   carabiners   of   the   spreader   and   the   harness   carabiners.   Make  
sure   that   the   carabiners   are   closed   and   that   nothing   is   twisted.  

Check   the   functionality   of   the   tandem   spreaders   and   the   correct   connection   with   the  
pilot   and   passenger..  

Check   your   preferred   setting   of   the   trimmer.  

Check   one   last   time   that   there   are   no   knots   in   the   lines,   nothing   is   twisted   and   that   the  
lines   are   not   caught   in   vegetation   or   rocks.   You   must   be   particularly   attentive   in   lighter  
winds.
