7.16 Emergency Parachute – Optional Equipment
NOTE
The parachute is optional unless governing body of the country where the aircraft is to be flown requires
a parachute.
The BRS emergency parachute system has a double acting firing mechanism. The parachute-operating
handle is fitted with a safety pin and is located on the left side of the seat frame. This pin should be
removed before each flight and the safety pin must be replaced before the pilot alights from the aircraft. A
force of approximately 15 – 20 kg pull on the actuating handle is required to activate the BRS rocket
motor.
Emergency procedures for use of the BRS can be found in section 3.3.9 of this manual. Additional
information including service and maintenance requirements can be found in the BRS manual.
7.17 Ignition Switches
The ignition switches are located on the lower right side of the seat frame. Operation is forward for on
and rearward for off. When the switches are in the off position the switch shorts the engine coils to earth
causing the engine to stop.
