When you start a new measurement, you first will be forwarded to a page for entering your wing status prior to starting the actual measurement.

We here provide the possibility to verify that the used values for the linemap is correct. Although, we thoroughly take care to enter everything correctly, we can not guarantee that there are no mistakes. Manufacturers might update their linemaps from time to time or may even provide incomplete information.

<WRAP important round center>It is your responsibility to confirm the correct values for the linemap to ensure correct measurements.

If you find any errors, please let us know through the contact form. We are happy to correct it as soon as anyhow possible.</WRAP>

Next, you will be asked for the total hours of airtime on your wing and lineset. This information can be used later on to get some statistics of your wing over time (not yet implemented).

<WRAP important round center>The second and also very important part is to select the loops as they are currently applied to the main lines at the risers.</WRAP>

This information is necessary to make the simulation work and ultimately also to have the status quo based on which you can do your trim adjustments.

If a wing already has an assigned measurement from a previous date, the latest known loop status will be automatically imported.

Also, if you already have set the loops in the wing information, they will automatically be imported. Make sure that you didn't change anything since.

<WRAP important round center>Only if loops are entered correctly, changing them in the simulation will predict something that at least is similar to what the actual length change will be after re-measuring.</WRAP>

After entering your loops, you can select, if you would like to include brakes in your measurement or not.

While we have updated already more than 100 variants with brake data, you might realize, that you might not have the option to select brake measurement on your wing. Please send us a message to let us know, you need it in this case.

Before starting the measurement you can chose which direction you would like to follow during your measurement. While you always start on the left side in the middle, the default setup “rows” will follow from the innermost A suspension point all the way to the wing tip before moving to the B row etc.. “Columns” in contrast first measures all suspension points in one column (a1, b1, c1, d1) before moving to the next. “Sections” measures all suspension points that are attached to one main line.
