ACCESS AIRBAG

Flight behavior.

The ACCESS AIRBAG is a stable and 
comfortable harness providing an 
easy running to seating transition 
due to its design and padded 
protections. It is an ideal harness 
for ground handling and learning 
how to fly.
The ACCESS AIRBAG was designed 
with great passive/active safety 
levels in mind to help new pilots 
during their progression  ( upright 
posture, easy running and transi-
tion phase to seating ).
To discover your new harness, we 
will recommend making your first 
flights on a school training hill in 
calm weather conditions with low 
wind speeds.
