The safety harness is a four-point system. The lower straps pass
through the seat pan and are anchored to the fuselage skin. The
shoulder straps pass through the seatback and around the lift tube
structure behind the pilot’s shoulders.
CAUTION
:
Shorter pilots should add firm cushions (preferably
energy absorbing cushions) on the seat pan to raise
the body position in the cockpit. The cushion height
should be sufficient to ensure the shoulder straps pull
the pilot down positively.
WARNING
:
No compressible cushions behind the pilot’s back are
allowed. A forward acceleration (e.g. a winch launch)
may prevent the pilot reaching the controls safely if the
cushions are of a compressible type.
