The three-year-no-worry offer.
Imagine two years have passed and you don’t have to do your 2 year check. Then you fly a
wing from NOVA! If your wing has had the NOVA Trim Tuning, then we will extend the period
until the next service check from two to three years (from date of purchase) – provided you
do not exceed the number of operating hours before a service is needed, as stated in this
manual. The extension of the interval before the next service is due allows you to concen-
trate on what you enjoy: the flying. We at NOVA wish you great flights!
More than a check.
When it comes to checks we are very particular – that’s why we don’t just call it a check, but
a NOVA Full Service. We check all the details of the paraglider: porosity, line lengths, cor-
rect trimming, etc. With our in-house developed software package, the Quality Assurance
Database (NOVA QAD), the person servicing the wing can view previous checks. You too can
view your glider’s service history – which is obviously protected by a password. Like during
the NOVA Trim Tuning, the person servicing the glider will measure all the lines and feeds
the data automatically into the diagnostic software. Using the measurements, the software
calculates the sail trim and suggests possible trim corrections. These are evaluated by the
person servicing the glider and then implemented through loops at the carabiners. All meas-
urement and check data is held centrally and we can download and analyse this data at any
time. This allows us to determine how, in what distribution and to what extent the lines go
out of trim. Using this data we can draw conclusions and improve our know-how on lines for
future gliders. As a technical and innovative company we are always concerned with further
development and safety.
Everything available, anytime.
To us, a paraglider is more than just a few kilograms of plastic. We breathe digital life into
it. Registration at myNOVA is its birth certificate; and the service data for its entire life is
collected in our Quality Assurance Database. For the following two reasons our long-running
system is not only practical, it is also vital for continuing quality assurance: Firstly, thanks
to a user account our clients have unlimited access to all their important data – for example,
the NOVA Full Service log, Trim Tuning data or even a change of owner.
Secondly, we gain a deeper insight into the durability of the material and lines through the
collection of this data. This helps us inform our clients quickly in case of problems. Also,
it helped/helps us to decide which materials are most suitable for everyday paragliding. It
assists us to keep producing better paragliders.
NOVA approved service centres also have access to the database. The person responsi-
ble for the service can gain information on the wing before even opening it up. The Quality
Assurance Database therefore improves the knowledge transfer – in the interest of our
customers.
All the service and guarantee conditions are linked to terms and conditions.
