Preflight Check of a Paraglider

Unfold the wing you are getting ready to fly.

Start by pulling and unrolling the wing, extending each tip fully.

Remember in high wind situations, you need to unroll in a “wind shadow” building a building, etc.

Go to the glider, the center of the glider to the leading edge.

You will then pull that to form a slight horseshoe shape making it easier to launch.

This will allow the middle of the wing to launch quicker so the tips do not fold in.

Next, you will grab the risers, be careful to grab where they connect to the carabineers so that they do not pass through one another.

Then you will extend them out so that you get some pressure on to the lines. So you can see your full set of lines.

Now, you need to carefully inspect the lines, checking to see if there are no tears or rips in the sheath.

Finally, you will need to take a final look at the glider and check for rips and tears on the glider itself.

It is also recommended to check prior to packing up the glider for the next time.
