Pre-flight checklist, have you done yours?
Is your Pre-flight check list flawless? Here in 6 stages is a list of them
This video “Pre-Flight Security for paragliding free-flight”, by Greg Gillam, is produced by the Free-flight Association in the USA (USHPA), and provides information by flight instructor Marty DiVietti. The Canadian Association, ACVL/HPAC had the film translated and sent it to all their members.
The safety of free-flight starts on the ground. Incidents often occur from the omission of a pre-flight routine, resulting in some glider pilots being lucky enough to walk away unscathed. But when chance is not on your side, the results can be tragic. Whether you are an experienced pilot or a novice, be sure to review your pre-flight checks regularly.
