It is a requirement to have a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) for paragliding and hang gliding equipment in New Zealand

The list below displays Southern Club members of the NZHGPA that are authorised to carry out WOF checks for paragliding and hang gliding equipment. These inspectors are authorised to act as ‘Authorised Maintenance Personnel’ in accordance with CAA Part 115.

You can expect to get charged a fee by the inspector to cover their time. From time to time (annually) the Club may hold a group WOF inspection evening for Club members where the fee is likely to be less. Please check the Events page for any upcoming WOF evening. Otherwise, contact one of the WOF inspectors below to arrange a WOF.

Blake Round and Mark Hardman offer a Paraglider Trimming Service. Please contact Blake and / or Mark for pricing.
