Safety advice
Flying a paramotor demand a high level of individual responsibility. Prudence and risk-
awareness are basic requirements for the safe practice of the sport, for the very reason that it is
so easy to learn and practically anyone can do so. Carelessness and overestimating one’s own
abilities can quickly lead to critical situations. A reliable assessment of conditions for flying is
particularly important. Paramotor gliders are not designed to be flown in turbulent weather. Most
serious accidents with paramotor gliders are caused by pilots misjudging the weather for flying.
In Germany, paramotor gliders are subject to the guidelines for air sports equipment and must
not under any circumstances be flown without a valid certification. Independent experimentation
is strictly prohibited. This Manual does not replace the need to attend training at a paramotor
school.
The Manual must be passed on to any new owner if the paramotor glider is sold. It is part of
the certification and belongs with the paramotor glider.
Observe the other specific safety advice in the various sections of this Manual.
Safety notices
Safety notices are issued when defects arise during use of a paramotor glider which could
possibly also affect other gliders of the same model. The notices contain instructions on how the
affected gliders can be inspected for possible faults and the steps required to rectify them.
Gin Gliders publishes on its website any technical safety notices and airworthiness
instructions which are issued in respect of GIN products. The paramotor glider owner is
responsible for carrying out the action required by the safety notice.
Safety notices are issued by the certification agencies and also published on the relevant
websites. You should therefore visit on a regular basis the safety pages of the certification
