Third system:
If you are using a reserve parachute with a double-riser bridle, it can be
connected to the harness using the two loops positioned at the base of the
harness bridle, near the padded shoulder straps. In this case, the harness’s
reserve parachute bridle will not be used and so it should be folded, fas-
tened using two elastic bands, and positioned under the cover behind the
pilot’s neck.
The two connections should be made using screw-lock snap-hooks with
a breaking strength of at least 1,400 kg. It is important to make sure that
the bridle is long enough to position the reserve parachute inside the har-
ness pocket and that there is sufficient room to take the parachute out of
the pocket without causing the reserve parachute deployment bag itself to
open during extraction.
ATTENTION:
To prevent abnormal side loads, the bridle must be hooked to both loops on
their respective shoulder straps.
Do not put any objects inside the bridle container.
