General warnings and advice
Before every flight, check the following:
þ
Is your passenger in good physical and mental condition?
þ
Are you familiar and compliant with all applicable laws and
regulations in your area?
þ
Are you briefed thoroughly about the site, airspace and
expected weather conditions of the day?
þ
Is your equipment and choice of site suitable for your level
of experience?
þ
Does your passenger have a suitable helmet, gloves, boots,
eye-wear and adequate clothing?
þ
Is your passenger carrying some form of identification, so
that people know who you are in case of an accident? Take
along a radio and mobile phone if possible.
Pre-flight checks
As part of your normal pre-flight check routine, check:
þ
Is there any damage to the harness or carabiners that could
affect its airworthiness?
þ
Are all buckles, belts, zips securely fastened? Buckles should
click into place as you close them, and a gentle pull on the
fastened buckle verifies this. Secure any zips after fastening the
buckles. Take extra care in snowy or sandy environments.
þ
Is the paraglider connected correctly to the harness with
both carabiners secured by their locking mechanisms?
þ
Are all pockets closed properly and any loose items tied
down safely?
þ
Have you closed your leg and chest straps? Double check
before you take off
