Section 3
Use of NOAH in case of an emergency bail out:
Note: We recommend strongly the use of an automatic parachute. Only with an
automatic parachute will the bail out procedure be nearly automatic and precious
time and altitude can be saved.
For the bail out jettison the canopy first, therefore pull the canopy emergency
release and if necessary push the canopy upwards.
Warning: If there are loops at the rudder pedals make sure that your feet are out
of the loops first.
Then pull the NOAH handle (at the right hand side next to the control stick,
marked black and yellow)
strongly and quickly up to its stop.
Roll out of the cockpit to the right hand side if possible, as on the left hand side
the airbrake handle may impede the procedure.
Note: Don’t operate the NOAH handle on the ground with open canopy as you
may release NOAH and the pressurised gas cylinder must be filled again.
Section 4
a) Pre-flight inspection
Check the airbag, the high pressure hose and the operating cables for

buckle is positioned aft of the cam of the actuation unit see sketch:

For normal opening of the seat harness buckle rotate the buckle only in
clockwise direction.
