Landing
Using the reserve parachute.
We strongly advise you to frequently check the reserve parachute handle location to lowering your right hand following
the risers. This movement should become second nature to maximize your chance of rapide and successful extractions in
case of an emergency.
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. If in doubt then deploy you reserve parachute.
Deploying a rescue parachute should only be done as 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) lines.
Be prepared to land by adopting an upright position.
The second reserve parachute must only be deployed when subsequent problems occur with the main and first rescue
system sequence.
Approaching landing, take your legs out of the Speedbag early enough. Straighten your body, adopt an upright posture
and be ready to run to dissipate the horizontal speed to a stop.
Do not land whilst still seated position, this is dangerous.
