Flying with the Gingo Airlite 4
General warnings and advice
Before every flight, 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 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, eye-wear and adequate clothing?
Are you 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 use your new equipment? If not, have
your instructor or dealer explain anything you are not sure about.
When you go for your first flight on your new harness, 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 harness.
Pre-flight checks
As part of your normal pre-flight check routine, check:
Is there any damage to the harness or carabiners that could aect its
airworthiness?
Is the rescue parachute container closed correctly with the pins in the right
position?
Is the deployment handle correctly inserted or attached?
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 with both carabiners
IMPORTANT: The maximum clip in
weight of the Gingo Airlite 4 is 120kg,
we do not recommend you fly with more
than this weight.
