3- FLYING WITH THE PASSENGER HARNESS 

 

3.1- Pre-flight checks 

For maximum safety, use a complete and consistent system of pre-flight checks and repeat the same mental sequence every flight. 
 

Check that: 

 

all buckles are fastened. Take particular care in the case of ice or snow. Always clean off snow or ice before fastening buckles;  

 

the reserve parachute handle is fastened in its correct position, and the pins are firmly inserted; 

 

pockets and zips are closed; 

 

the paraglider is connected correctly to the harness, and that both karabiners are locked closed by means of their locking system; 

 

the speed bar is attached correctly to the glider. 

3.2- Pockets 

PASSENGER has a large dorsal storage compartment and small lateral pockets, arranged so that contents cannot fall out during flight even if pockets are left 
open. The top of the dorsal compartment has a Velcro cover, so that the pilot can use it can as an instrument compartment.
