Flight:
Preflight check:
A thorough preflight check is essential for any aircraft, the NOVA
PHILOU is no exception.
Having unpacked and laid out the paraglider in a horseshoe the follow-
ing checks must be made:
The paraglider should be arranged in such a way that the A-lines in the
centre section of the canopy will tension before the ones at the wing tips.
This ensures an easy and balanced launch.
All lines and risers should be untangled and arranged in a way that they
do not catch on anything. Special attention should be paid to the A-
lines, which should run free from the A-risers ( pink sleeve ) to the
canopy.
It is equally important to untangle the control lines so that they are clear
and cannot get caught during launch.
The control lines should run freely through the D - rings to the trailing
edge of the canopy. Make sure the risers are not twisted.
It is important that no lines are looped around the canopy.
A so called ‘line-over’ may have disastrous consequences during
takeoff.
Before every launch check lines, risers and canopy for damage! Do not
launch in case of even the smallest damage!
