3.4 - Tandem flying
CREST can be used for tandem passengers.
3.5- Flying over water
Using CREST on flights over water is not recommended. In the event of
forced landing in water, there is the possibility that the protection, still full
of air, will hold the pilot under water.
Woody Valley recommends using a suitable life jacket when flying above
water.
3.6- Winch launch bridle attachment
CREST is suitable for towed launches. The towing bridle should be inserted
directly into the main snap-hooks, taking care to position the snap-hooks
with the opening mechanism at the rear. For further details, see your tow-
ing bridle instructions or ask a qualified towing instructor at your air field.
3.7 - Landing with CREST
Before landing, slide forwards in the harness so that you assume a stand-
ing position. Never land in the seated position; it is very dangerous for your
back even if you have foam dorsal protection or an Airbag, which only pro-
vides passive protection. Standing upright before landing is an active safe-
ty system and is much more effective.
