To us, a paraglider is more than just a few kilograms of plastic. We
breathe digital life into it. Registration at MyNOVA is its birth certifi-
cate; and the service data for its entire life is collected in our Quality
Assurance Database. For the following two reasons our long-run-
ning system is not only practical, it is also vital for continuing quality
assurance:
Firstly, thanks to a user account our clients have unlimited access to
all their important data – for example, the NOVA Full Service log, Trim
Tuning data or even a change of owner.
Secondly, we gain a deeper insight into the durability of the material
and lines through the collection of this data. This helps us inform our
clients quickly in case of problems. Also, it helped/helps us to decide
which materials are most suitable for everyday paragliding. It assists

Particulars and exceptions

Subsequent check intervals are two years unless the checker speci-
fies one year due to the questionable condition of the glider.
We also recommend annual checks if the glider is used in areas where
it is exposed to a lot of stress/adverse conditions: in very sandy or
rocky areas, salty sea air and if the wing has been in contact with
salt water. Anyone who regularly flies aerobatics should submit their
glider for an annual check. In this case, there is an even greater res-
ponsibility on the pilot to regularly check the wing for damage.
Regardless of the above specified deadlines, the paraglider must be
inspected no later than 100 flying hours or 200 launches, whichever
comes first.
The NOVA Full Service is confirmed with an official stamp. Failure to
comply invalidates the airworthiness. You can find authorised service
