Flying the Fuse
TIP: Practice inflating your glider and
making short flights on a training
hill.
NOTE: Remember that you have a duty
of care to your passenger and that their
life is in your hands. Take extra care with
all aspects of safety.
General warnings and advice
Before flying with your paraglider, check the following:
Are you in good physical and mental condition?
Are you familiar and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations in your area?
Are you within the certified weight range of your paraglider?
Do you and your passenger have the necessary valid insurance cover (e.g. liability, medical,
life)?
Are you briefed thoroughly about the site, airspace and expected weather conditions of the
day?
Is your equipment and choice of site suitable for your level of experience?
Do you have a suitable helmet, gloves, boots, eyewear and adequate clothing?
Are you and 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.
Do you fully understand how to safely fly your new paraglider? If not, have your instructor or
dealer explain anything you are not sure about.
When you go for your first flight on your new Fuse, be sure to pick a day and site that does not
present you with any unfamiliar challenges. During your first flight, familiarize yourself with the
in-flight characteristics of your new wing.
