Closing Words - BGD Tala Manuel D'utilisation

Servicing / Inspection
It is important to have your glider regularly serviced.
Your BGD TALA should have a thorough check / inspection every 24 month or every 150 flight hours, whichever
occurs first. This check must be made by the manufacturer, importer, distributor or other authorized persons. The
checking must be proven by a stamp on the certification sticker on the glider as well in the service book. BGD
will offer 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.
The manufacturer will only accept responsibility for paraglider, lines and repairs where the manufacturer has
produced and fitted such lines or carried out repairs.
Chapter VII

Closing words

Your TALA is an advanced, stable glider that promises you many hours of safe and enjoyable flying, provided
you treat it with care and always keep a respect for the potential dangers of aviation.
Please always remember that flying can be dangerous and your safety depends on your own. With careful
treatment you should have with the TALA for many years a high flying capability. The TALA has been tested
internationally under current airworthiness standards, and these represent the current knowledge concerning the
safety of a glider.
However, since there are still many unknown issues, for example the effective lifespan of the current generation
of gliders and how strong the material aging can be accepted without affecting the airworthiness. We are sure
that there are natural forces that can threaten your safety seriously, regardless of the quality of construction or
the condition of your glider. Your security is ultimately your responsibility. We strongly recommend that you fly
carefully, adjust to the weather conditions and are constantly dealing with the safe side.
Flying in a club, or a school with experienced pilots is highly recommended.
We recommend that you fly with a standard harness with a back protection and a reserve parachute. Always use
good equipment and an approved helmet.
See you in the sky!
