IMPORTANT: Use a complete and
consistent system of pre-flight
checks and repeat the same
sequence every flight.
General warnings and advice
Before every flight, check the following:
Is your passenger in good physical and mental condition?
Are you within the certified weight range of your paraglider?
Does your passenger have the necessary valid insurance coverage (e.g. liability, medical,
life)?
Is your equipment and choice of site suitable for your level of experience?
Does your passenger have a suitable helmet, gloves, boots, eye-wear and adequate clothing?
Is your passenger carrying some form of identification, so that people know who they 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:
Is there any damage to the harness or carabiners that could affect its airworthiness?
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.
Is the paraglider connected correctly to the harness and spreader bars with all carabiners
secured by their locking mechanisms?
Are all pockets closed properly and any loose items tied down safely?
Is the air chamber intake open and clear?
Are your passengers leg and chest straps closed? Double check before you take off!
