should be carried out every 24 months or 150 hours, whichever is sooner. Inspection should
consist of measurements of the fabric porosity, tear resistance, line strengths, line lengths and a
full visual check. The full protocol is available on our website.
If you groundhandle frequently or fly in harsh conditions, we recommend an annual check. It’s
your responsibility as a pilot to ensure that your wing is airworthy at all times.
A full inspection will give you peace of mind and extend your glider's lifetime. Additional
inspections should be performed by a qualified person following a crash or violent landing on the
leading edge, or if you note a deterioration of performance or behaviour. You should also check
for any damage to your lines, sail, risers and connectors before each flight.
Validity of inspection
It is very important that your glider is serviced at the required intervals throughout its entire
life. In order to benefit from Gin Gliders warranty:
• you must have your paramotor glider inspected by Gin Gliders or an inspection agent
authorised by Gin Gliders
• the documentation and the result of the inspection must be clearly identifiable (date,
place, name of the inspector) and be entered near the glider information/certification
sticker
Material stress
Uncontrolled flight positions—such as may be encountered during safety training, extreme
manoeuvres or after massive collapses or cascades—are outside the manufacturer limits of the
paramotor glider. This may cause a general deterioration in flight characteristics, premature
ageing, or even structural failure.
