Chapter 5 — Preflight and Ground Operations
Line Tangles, Twists, and Line-Overs
Line tangles and twists can be frustrating if you do
not understand how to solve them. The good news
is that wing line problems are simple to understand,
few in type, and easy to solve. They break down into
line twists and line-overs. A definite advantage for the
pilot is that both ends of the suspension lines are attached
to either the risers or the wing. That means
there are no loose ends to get twisted in and around
each other. Any loops in the lines readily pull out if
shaken a little; gently shaking all of the lines loose is
5-15
an important step to get the wing laid out properly in
preparation for flight.
