Paraglider inspection: equipment check points
At Azur Parapente, our paragliding check-up workshop ensures the safety and performance of your equipment. A service includes several essential inspection points.
- The wing: the fabric is inspected for wear, tears or fading that could affect its strength and porosity.
- The lines: essential for the paraglider’s stability and manoeuvrability. They are checked for signs of wear, cuts, tears or unusual stretching.
- Risers and connectors: they connect the suspension lines to the harness and should be inspected to ensure they are in good condition and working properly.
- The reserve parachute: essential in an emergency. Its overall condition and correct repacking must be checked, along with the deployment mechanism.
- The harness: it ensures the pilot’s comfort and safety. We inspect it for any signs of wear, particularly on the straps and buckles.
By carefully checking each of these points, we ensure the paraglider has been fully inspected and the equipment is in perfect condition for a safe and enjoyable flight.

How often should I have my paraglider serviced?
As a general rule, it is recommended that your paraglider be inspected every 100 flight hours or at least once a year, even if you haven’t used it much.
This inspection must be carried out by a qualified professional who checks:
- the integrity of the fabric;
- the condition of the lines;
- the strength of the stitching;
- the proper functioning of all equipment, such as risers and reserve parachutes.
If you often fly in challenging conditions, it may be wise to increase the frequency of your checks. In addition to regular servicing, a visual inspection before every flight is essential to spot any signs of wear or damage.
Following these recommendations will extend your paraglider’s lifespan and ensure it continues to meet standards.
