Inspection checklist

In addition to regular pre-flight checks, the Gingo II should be inspected thoroughly on every

rescue repack, normally every 150 days. Additional inspections should be performed after any

crash, bad landing or take off, or if there are any signs of damage or undue wear. Always seek

professional advice whenever in doubt. The following checks should be carried out:

Check all webbing, straps and buckles for wear and damage, especially the areas that are

not easily seen, such as the inside of the carabiner hook-in points.

All sewing must be intact and any anomalies attended to immediately to avoid

exacerbation of the problem.

Special attention should be paid to the rescue installation, particularly the elastic and

Velcro parts.

The seat and back plates must be free from cracks.

The main aluminium carabiners must be replaced

at least

every 5 years or after 500 hours,

whatever comes first. Impacts may create undetectable cracks that could result in

structural failure under continuous load.

Repairs

The manufacturer or an approved specialist should carry out any repair that involves critical

parts of the harness. This will ensure that the correct materials and repair techniques are used.
