FLYING THE MACJET
The following information must not under any circumstances be taken as
a manual for practising paramotoring. We would like to advise you of the
MacJet features and important information for your flying and security.
Preparing for take off:
As for any aircraft a thorough pre-flight check must be made prior to each flight on the
MacJet!
Before every launch check lines, risers and canopy for damage! Do not launch with
even the slightest damage!
Also check the maillons connecting the lines and the risers. They have to be closed
tight.
Put on the harness with maximum care and check the handle of the safety system and
that all the flaps of the outer container are fastened securely and correctly. The main
karabiner must also be checked carefully. Replace it if any damage is visible, or
generally after 300 flying hours. Finally connect the risers to your harness with the main
karabiners.
Check carefully that they are properly closed.
Attention! Never fly with an open main karabiner! Do not take off if you find any
damage on your equipment!
Having unpacked and laid out the paramotoring glider in a slight horseshoe pattern the
following checks must be made:
