4.7 Using the ballistic recovery system – BRS (parachute)
If your airplane is equipped with the ballistic recovery system, among other documents you
have received the Ballistic recovery system manual elaborated by its producer. Go through
this document in its full length and keep the procedures which are introduced there.
The handle which activates the rescue system is located in the upper part of the cockpit
between the seats.
Do not forget to unlock the rescue system prior to take off and to lock it after the flight.
Generally speaking, the rescue system is recommended to use in the case of definite loss of
control of the airplane, for example in the case of its destruction. In that case perform the
following:
- turn off the ignition
- fasten your seat belts
- activate the BRS
- if the airplane is equipped with the radio perform a distress call
When the airplane is dropping steadily, the airplane is in the position wheels down. After the
impact with the ground it is necessary to count with a damage of an airplane.
WARNING
The ballistic recovery system (BRS) is constructed for the maximum speed of flight
240km/h. If situation, which requests to use the BRS happens, act quickly. Practice
the movement of your arm activating the BRS and make sure there are no barriers,
seat belts or clothing restricting the activation. Introduce the BRS to the fellow-
traveler before the flight, explain the activation process and let him (her) try the
movement of the arm.
