WARNING
The extreme emergency in which the EPS must be activated
requires that it be activated in a timely manner. Do not wait until
the aircraft has exceeded the airspeed and load factor operating
envelope, is at an altitude which does not allow the parachute to
fully deploy prior to ground impact, or is in an extreme attitude!
WARNING
If the aircraft is controllable and structurally capable of flying
to a safe landing site, the EPS should not be activated!
WARNING
Minimum height for EPS activation is 660 ft (200 m) AGL
and maximum airspeed is 303 IAS / 164 KIAS!
CAUTION
Ground impact is expected to be equivalent to touchdown
from a height of approximately 8.2-9.8 ft (2.5-3.0 m). Occupants
must assume emergency landing body position before touchdown!
CAUTION
The EPS is not intended to be a substitute for good pilot judgment,
skills and training, proper pre-flight planning, proper aircraft
maintenance and pre-flight inspections, and safe aircraft
operations!
NOTE
The recommended emergency landing body position is assumed
with both hands placed on the lap, one wrist clasped with the
opposite hand and with the upper torso erect against the backrest.
