Lateral Straps (1)
The lateral straps adjust the angle between the thighs and the back. Lengthening the straps increases
the angle and vice-versa. The easiest way to adjust them correctly is during a flight in calm air. Remember
that flying in the supine position (i.e. leaning back), reduces the stability of the harness and increases the
risk of riser twists after a deflation.
To tighten, pull forward on BLACK and GREEN loop. To loosen, pull back on the BLACK loop.
Seat Straps (2)
The seat straps change the depth of the seat. Adjust to find a comfortable position. In the sitting
position, lengthen the straps to their maximum at first and then use the plastic buckles to shorten the
straps to find a comfortable position with good back support. Lengthening the straps also helps you
to slide easily into the harness at take off, while shortening the straps helps you to be in the standing
position for landing.
To tighten, pull up on the BLACK webbing loop. To loosen, pull up on the buckle.
Side strap (3)
The side adjustment straps allow you to adjust the angle of the front of the seat. To get the optimum
setting you can loosen these straps to the maximum in the sitting position and start pulling the straps
until you get the comfort from the leg support depending on the flying style of the pilot.
To tighten, pull up on the RED loop. To loosen, pull up on the buckle.
Speed Bar
Hanging in the simulator, adjust the length of the speed bar cord so that the bar hangs at least
15cm below the front of the harness. Making the cord too short could result in the speed system being
constantly or unintentionally engaged during flight. It is safer to start with the speed bar a little long and
shorten it following your first flights. Test the speed bar in flight only after you are comfortable with your
new harness, and always do so in calm conditions with enough clearance above the ground.
