In any case a qualified professional must check the compatibility of the system; harness and
rescue parachute, when a rescue parachute is installed for the first time. After every repack of
the rescue parachute you can do a compatibility check yourself. Please observe carefully how
the professional installs the rescue system, so that you can remember the procedure if you
have to do it yourself the next time.
This compatibility check requires that you test to make sure that the rescue parachute can be
released from the rescue container in the harness – it must be done by the pilot himself, sitting
in the harness hanging from a simulator. It must be done after every repack of the rescue
parachute to be sure that the rescue can be released without problems in the case of an
emergency.
Rescue installation guide
Take special care: The deployment handle must be attached to the side loop on the deployment
bag, not to the centre loop. When fitting the rescue to the harness ensure the loop/handle
attachment is positioned uppermost, close to the seat plate.
