This involves measuring the ‘total lengths’ of lines, from the base of the risers to the lower surface.
This thus takes into account all the manufacturing deviations of the…
- lines
- attachments of the lines,
- risers…
and the tightening of the connections….
and the elongation or shrinkage of the lines.
This way of measuring is the same as that used by certification laboratories and paragliding manufacturers.
The number of measurements to be performed is 60 for a small simple speedriding paraglider and can go up to 400 for a monosurface paraglider!
