Inspection checklist
In addition to regular pre-flight checks, your harness should be inspected thoroughly on every
rescue repack of 150 days. Additional inspections should be performed after any crash, bad landing
or take off, or if there are any signs of damage or undue wear. Always seek professional advice
whenever in doubt.
The following checks should be carried out
Check all webbing, straps and buckles for wear and damage, especially the areas that are not
easily seen, such as the inside of the carabiner hook-in points.
All sewing must be intact and any anomalies attended to immediately to avoid exacerbation of
the problem.
Special attention should be paid to the rescue installation, particularly the elastic and Velcro
parts.
The main carabiners must be replaced at least every 5 years or after 500 hours, whatever
comes first. Impacts may create undetectable cracks that could result in structural failure under
continuous load.
Repairs
The manufacturer or an approved specialist should carry out any repair that involves critical
parts of the harness. This will ensure that the correct materials and repair techniques are used.
