On receiving your paraglider Initial flight Before sale, every NOVA wing is checked and flown by a NOVA dealer. The name of the pilot and date of this first flight must written on the paraglider’s information label. Generally this will be situated in the centre cell (at the profile rib).

The synthetic materials used in the construction of a paraglider should be responsibly disposed of. When you wish to dispose of your glider, please return it to NOVA or to your local NOVA partner, where it will be dismantled into its individual components and properly disposed of.

Imagine two years have passed and you don’t have to do your 2 year check. Then you fly a wing from NOVA! If your wing has had the NOVA Trim Tuning, then we will extend the period until the next service check from two to three years (from date of purchase) – provided you do not exceed the number of operating hours before a service is needed, as stated in this manual.
Page 11
The tolerances for trim changes and the conditions and detailed instructions for the check are defined in the check instruction and the analysis software. The NOVA Full Service is confirmed with an official stamp. Failure to comply with the in- spection interval will invalidate the airworthiness of the paraglider.
