Preflight Check

The wing preflight check will be easier if made before lifting the wing above the trike. The

following is a brief summary of the minimum pre-flight inspection, which assumes that the

scheduled maintenance checks outlined in the maintenance manual has been performed. If you

are unsure, it does no harm to increase the number of items in your inspection in accordance with

the recommendations of the maintenance manual.

Position the wing horizontally once coupled with the trike.

Visually check the symmetry of the two leading edges.

Check noses plates' assembly, bolts, nuts, thimbles and Nicopress of the front lower longitudinal

cables, swan catch correctly positioned, pushpin and wires attached.

Slide your hand along the leading edges to check for possible damage. Make sure the profile of the

upper surface of the leading edge is free of deposits of raindrops, insects, snow or ice. Clean/dry if

necessary.

Check the crossbar/leading edges connection, bolts, nuts, by unzipping the lower surface access.

Check for correct fastening of lower flying wires and upper landing wires, also their condition, swages

and thimbles. Check that the sail is not snagged on a metallic part. Close the lower surface access.

Check the fastening of the sail at the wing tips and the position lock of the two pivoting sleeves by

means of the Parker screws.

Check the fitting of the upper surface battens and the closure of their tighteners on the trailing edge.

Check fitting and condition of the reflex bridles and their attachment to the sail.

Check that no upper cables are wrapped around the kingpost and that the luff lines are well positioned

in the grooves of the pulleys at the top of the kingpost.

10. Check the axes of the swiveling piece, its safety pins and the thimbles and Nicopress of the rear lower

cables at the keel end.

11. Check the correct routing of the tensioning cables on each side of the king post. Check the tensioning

system at the end of the keel, the nuts and bolts, the correct position and security of the push pin and

its safety washer.

12. Slide your hand along all of the lower cables to detect signs of wear.

13. Check that the lower cables are attached to the A frame, check the nuts and bolts, check the condition

of the cables and their Nicopress clamps, and the push-pin of the control bar. All the cables should be

loose enough to pivot in the direction of the tension. Close the leather cover webbings.

14. Check the assembly of the crossbar central junctions, the nuts and bolts, the protection, the retaining

straps on the keel, and the fastening of the tensioning cables.

15. Check the hang bracket and its positioning rings for condition (possible twist, cracks) and free

pivoting movement.

16. Check that all zippers on the inspection hatches are closed and that the under / upper surfaces and

wingtip closure are correctly positioned with their velcro.

17.

Once the wing is assembled on its trike, check the position of the hook screw, its butterfly and its

safety ring.

18. Check that the safety cable of the trike is correctly positioned and fastened. It must pass under the

tensioning cables. This system ensures the fastening of the trike as well as tensioning of the crossbars

in case of failure of one of the main components.
