Compatibility verification
After the packing the combination harness/rescue should be tested under close to real circumstances.
Therefore the harness is fixed at the main suspension and the pilot takes his usual flying position. That is
the only way to check if the rescue system can be used without complications in case of emergency in his
flying position.
Especially the length of the arm is significant to release the rescue parachute without problems in case
of emergency. Please also follow the instructions of the harness manufacturer.
Additionally the connection line, between rescue release handle and rescue container is not
adjusted too long and not too short. The rescue relese handle should be able to be released
without major resistance and needs to be tested through the compatability verification.
attEntion:
The trial release needs to be performed after every re-
packing. The opening force has to be between 4 and 8 daN.
Tehe volume of the packed rescue parachute depends on the quality of the packing and the
possible compression by the harness.
operation limits
The BACKUP is not designed as a flying parachute, the maximum permitted speed at which is
may be released is 100 km/h - 32m/s. The BACKUP X100 has a operation time limit of 10 years.
Requirement for that is the compliance with the check-over intervals and recorded packing. It
is recommended to replace the rescue system after this period of time, even if it hasn’t been
activated.
