Using the reserve parachute.
We strongly advise you to check frequently the location of the reserve parachute handle location. To do this, we recommend that you
lower your right hand following the risers. This movement should be done without looking. By doing so, you will maximize your chanc-
es of a rapid extraction if something went wrong and throwing the reserve parachute was called for.
Evaluate your height over the ground. If you have a lot of altitude, it may be better to attempt a wing recovery to normal flight. But if in
any doubt, then deploy your rescue parachute.
Deploying a rescue parachute should be done only in an emergency.
With a strong, lateral and then vertical tug, pull the handle towards you and then throw the whole parachute (including the bag and
handle) as hard as hard as possible away from the harness and an unobstructed trajectory. As soon as the parachute deploys, haul
down the glider by pulling as symmetrically as possible on the risers (C or d D) or on the brakes.
Be prepared to land by adopting an upright position, with knees together and legs slightly bent. Prepare to roll down with pivoting
shoulders. PLF ( Parachute Landing Fall ).
The second reserve parachute must only be deployed when subsequent problems occur with the main and first rescue system se-
quence.
Mandatory controls

petent person.
