GIN gliders have an exact identi fi cation on the underside of the wingtip or on the centre rib,
which is obligatory for all paragliders. The information required is set out in the airworthiness
requirements.
It is helpful to provide the type designation of the paraglider if you are contacting your Gin
Gliders dealer with any queries or ordering replacement parts or accessories, to ensure accurate
identi
fi cation.

The following parts and materials must be inspected regularly for damage, abrasion and correct
operation, e.g. after landing:
● Risers and quick-links
●
Lines
● Fabric
}
Measuring the length of the lines is part of the regular paraglider inspection. The lines must be
measured with a load of 5kg, in order to ensure reproducible results for a comparison with the
lengths in the check sheets.
The lines have a considerable in
fl uence on fl ight behaviour. Correct line length and symmetry
are also important for performance and handling. Gin Gliders therefore recommends an
inspection every 50 to 100 hours or once a year.
a
Environmental conditions such as high temperatures or moisture can affect line length. Check
the line length regularly, particularly if you notice any change in launch or
fl ight behaviour. The
line length should be checked if you have landed in water or if the lines have got wet through.
Lines age and lose strength even if the paraglider is used infrequently or not at all. This can
affect the safety and function of your paraglider.
Signs of wear are slight bumps or changes in
fl ying characteristics. The lines must then be
replaced immediately. Use only inspected and approved lines, which can be obtained through
Gin Gliders.

A properly completed logbook with details of all fl ying and training will help you to comply with
these periods.
