It is important to have your glider regularly serviced.
Your WAVE 2 should have a thorough check every year or every 200 flights, which ever is the earliest.
Airwave offers an inspection service every winter. This is a comprehensive service which checks line
lengths and strength, fabric porosity and tear strength and a variety of other tests and we strongly
advise all pilots to take advantage of this.
Please ensure you return this manual with your glider with the number of flights and hours flown
written in the Certificate of Service.
NB. The manufacturer will only accept responsibility for paraglider lines and repairs where the
manufacturer has produced and fitted such lines or carried out repairs.
See you in the sky!
