TIP: Always follow a consistent method

of preparation and pre-ﬂight checks

each time you ﬂy.

Preparation for launch

Check the condition of your paraglider and other ﬂying equipment before every ﬂight.

Lay out your wing on its top surface in an arc. Make sure that the centre of the wing is higher

than the tips.

Prepare for launch by checking the following:

Is the glider fabric free from tears or other damage?

Are the lines free from knots, tangles or other damage?

Are the maillons connecting the lines and risers closed and secured?

Are your carabiners in good condition?

Are the risers in good condition?

Is your harness in good condition?

Is your speed system correctly connected?

Is your rescue correctly installed in your harness?

Is your rescue handle secure and rescue pin in?

Pre-ﬂight check

Check the following before every take-off:

Is your personal equipment in order? (harness and helmet straps done up, reserve handle

secure and pin in, carabiners done up)

Are you holding the ‘A’ risers and brake handles?

Is the wing arranged in an arc with the leading edge open and into wind?

Is the wind strength and direction suitable?
