Equipment maintenance
Parateckie- Paraglider maintenance work shop.
Ensure your paraglider's safety and life span with professional experience and equipment.
Just the way you service your car regularly, your paraglider also requires regular maintenance in order to maintain its airworthiness and lifespan. We recommend regular checks annually or after 100 hours of air time. This helps you assess the condition of your glider and determine its suitability and safety in flight.
At our workshop at Parateckie in India, we provide a thorough inspection and expert care for your paragliding equipment.
