Safety Section 2 11
Safety notices
Safety notices are issued when defects
arise during use of a paraglider which could
possibly also affect other gliders of the
same model.
The notices contain instructions on how to
inspect the gliders concerned for possible
faults and the steps required to rectify any
faults.
Powerplay publishes on its website any
technical safety notices and airworthiness
instructions which are issued in respect of
Powerplay products. We will also send you
safety notices directly by email if you have
registered your product (refer to “Product
Registration” in the section “Powerplay on
the World Wide Web”).
WARNING
The paraglider owner is responsible for
carrying out the action required by the
safety notice.
Safety notices are released by
the certification agencies and are
also published on the relevant
websites. Services such as RSS
are also available which allow
internet users to follow various websites and
changes to them without having to access
them individually. This allows much more
information to be followed than was
previously the case. You should therefore
visit the safety pages of the certification
agencies on a regular basis and keep up-to-
date with new safety notices which cover
any products relating to paragliding (refer to
Appendix for addresses).
Disclaimer and exclusion of
liability, operating limits
Use of the paraglider is at the pilot’s own
risk!
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
any personal injury or material damage
which arises in connection with Powerplay
paramotor gliders. The certification and
warranty are rendered invalid if there are
changes of any kind (incl. paraglider design
or changes to the brake lines beyond the
permissible tolerance levels) or incorrect
repairs to the glider, or if any inspections are
missed (annual and 2-yearly check).
Pilots are responsible for their own safety
and must ensure that the airworthiness of
the glider is checked prior to every flight.
The pilot should launch only if the paraglider
is airworthy. In addition, when flying outside
of Germany, pilots must observe the
relevant regulations in each country.
The glider may only be used if the pilot has
a licence which is valid for the area. There is
no liability on the part of third parties, in
particular the manufacturer and the dealer.
In terms of the warranty and guarantee
conditions, the paraglider may not be flown
if any of the following situations exists:
•
the inspection period has expired, or the
inspection has been carried out by the
pilot him/herself or by an unauthorised
inspector
•
the take-off weight is not within the
permissible weight range
•
the glider is flown in rain or drizzle,
cloud, fog and / or snow
•
the temperature is below -10°C
•
there are turbulent weather conditions or
wind speeds on launch higher than 2/3
of the maximum flyable airspeed of the
glider (varies according to the total take-
off weight)
