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 the red loop. To loosen, bull back on the black/green 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 red loop. To loosen, lift the plastic buckle.
Speed Bar (3)
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.
