Replacements for damaged lines must be with new original lines. Line lengths are taken
from the lines data page.
GUIDELINES FOR PARAMOTORING GLIDER CHECKS
Line length measurement
Lines should be separated and each line measured under a tension of 5 kg.
Measurement is made from the line carabineer to the canopy according to the method
of certification. Rib numbering begins in the middle of canopy and leads to the wing tip.
Measured lengths of the lines should be documented in the inspection record and
compared with certified full line lengths protocol. Lengths should not differ by more than
20 mm. The opposite side of the paraglider should be checked for symmetry.
Canopy line-attachment points check
Attachment points should be checked for damage and stretching. Defects, loops and
flares should be repaired.
Canopy fabric check
Ribs, diagonal ribs, top and bottom surface should be checked. Any damage to sewing
or tears to the fabric could influence flying characteristics and must be repaired.
Lines
All lines should be checked for tears, breaks, and any damage to the sheath or signs of
wear. Special attention should be paid to the sewing of the line loops. Damaged lines
must be replaced.
The results should be documented in the inspection record.
Connector check
All line carabineers, trims (if used), speed systems and pulleys should be inspected for
visible damage. Open or improperly secured connectors should be secured in
accordance with the producers recommendations.
Risers
Both risers should be checked for tears, signs of wear or any damage and measured
with a pull of 5 daN strength. Measured data should be documented in the inspection
record. The difference must not be higher than 5 mm when compared to specified
lengths.
Final check
The glider sticker and check sticker must be inspected for readability and correctness.
The check must be documented with date, signature and stamp on the canopy and in
the user manual.
