]]> Safety notice for Woody Valley GTO light 2 https://skysurfingclub.co.uk/safety_notice/safety-notice-for-woody-valley-gto-ligtht-2/ Tue, 26 Jan 2021 18:58:51 +0000 http://skysurfingclub.co.uk/?post_type=safety_notice&p=2427 ...

One of the shoulder loops was not correctly sewn, but only pre-glued.
We call on all GTO-light-2 owners to check the reserve parachute attachment on their harness before the next flight. The harness must not be flown without this. The compartment is located in the back of the neck and is accessible via a zipper.

]]> Keep your glider in trim https://skysurfingclub.co.uk/safety_notice/service-your-wing/ Tue, 26 Jan 2021 18:51:07 +0000 http://skysurfingclub.co.uk/?post_type=safety_notice&p=2425 ... Read more »]]> Following an incident back in August we have identified that one of the contributory factors was that the wing the pilot was flying had not been serviced in 350 hours over 8 years of flying. It is very likely that the trimming and brake line lengths were out of certification.
Please, please, please get your kit regularly serviced.

When we are out of the Covid restrictions we are planning on running a workshop to help you check your own line lengths in between services. In the mean time keep safe.
