Reserve not pulled out with the correct technique. A pull then throw to the side is correct.
The volume of the reserve worked originally in the new harness, but after a repack it has become too big.
Pilot dimensions and arm length may have a significant effect on reserve-throwing success. Small pilots
with short arms can have difficulties.
Conditions such as high G-loading (3G +, as in spiral dive).
Warning
A combination of these factors could make a reserve deployment impossible.
Info
Occasionally reach to the reserve handle after launch to memorize the position.
4.3. Adjusting the harness
4.3.1. Preparation and basic settings
General information
Install the reserve before adjusting the harness.
Load the back compartment with your equipment.
Set all straps to the basic settings (as delivered).
Close the harness and hang yourself (in the harness) up in a harness hanger.
Make adjustments if necessary. The main straps are also adjustable in flight.
The passenger harness can have a considerable effect on the pilot’s sitting position. We therefore
recommend that adjustments are made with a passenger harness; both harnesses attached to spreaders
hung in a harness stand.
Basic settings
Hint
ADVANCE recommend that you thoroughly familiarise yourself with these adjustments
before your first flight in the harness. As well as that you should always make your first
test flight with new equipment in quiet weather conditions.
