5. Before flight
Before each flight a thorough check of the frontcontainer is required. For your own safety make sure that:
- the container is not damaged in any way
- it is properly closed and locked with pins
- rescue chute release handle is correctly set up and has the right shape (quite often it happens to be malformed in transport, so it’s
important to check if it’s not flattened and remains easy to grab)
- the main carabiners are closed, locked and free of any damage
6. Operation and repairs
The Sit&Fly 90 and 110 frontcontainers are an exceptionally light equipment, designed for specific use. Due to
light and delicate materials used the harness is susceptible to damages caused by improper operation. Please bear in mind that
service life of this product directly depends on your awareness and careful handling.
Periodic control of the frontcontainer’s condition will keep it in safe operation for a long time.
Correspondingly, after each use of rescue chute thoroughly check the frontcontainer for damages, paying particular attention to the
straps and seams. Damaged v-riser is no longer airworthy and is to be replaced. Small tears in the container can be repaired on your
own by applying self-adhesive cloth patches on both surfaces. In case of any doubts please contact your dealer or manufacturer
and/or send it to an authorized workshop for closer inspection.
