2.9 RESCUE SYSTEM (Magnum 501 softpack)
It is necessary to bear in mind, that in critical situations you must activate
the rescue system as soon as practicable. In many critical situations, altitude is
lost very quickly, while airspeed increases. These factors dramatically lessen the
chance of rescue. It is recommended to activate the rescue system at heights
greater than 200m above ground!
Best speed for activating the rescue system is 80 km/h.
1.
Turn off the engine (Magnetos)
2.
Turn off the fuel valve
3.
Pull the rescue system handle hard. As the cable is pulled,
the resistance will increase up to a maximum of 12 kg of force.
The handle is located on the instrument panel.
The parachute canopy is filled gradually to
decelerate the aircraft and prevent sudden forces
which could damage the aircraft.
