3.5. 6 . Using a positive altitude correction to raise the activation altitude
As stated on page 10 § 3.3, in « PRO » settings a Vigil
®
Cuatro activates at a measured altitude of 1100.ft (335 m)
(actual altitude of 840-1100 ft, depending on body position).
To increase safety margins, an altitude correction can be performed (see page 1 8 § 3.5. 5 .)
Some important points to remember:
- Once an altitude correction is applied, this will stay in the Vigil ® 2 + Cuatro ’s memory, until you manually remove it in the « SETUP » menu.
- When you raise the activation altitude, always allow enough time to have a fully open main canopy approximately 1000ft above
your newactivation altitude. During a slow opening, it may take longer until you have a fully open main canopy, which may bring
you closer to the activation altitude you choose.
- A Vigil ® Cuatro will activate at the measured altitude it is set in. Please read page 10 , 11, 12 and 1 3 carefully to understand this !!
- When a positive altitude correction is implemented, the Vigil ® Cuatro can activate at the preset/default altitude plus the added
altitude correction until 150 ft (300 ft in «Xtreme» setting) above the “start ground zero reference”. This is the same altitude as if
no altitude correction is applied.
- This means on a positive altitude correction, you will increase the activation window. The “stop activation” altitude
of 150 ft (300 ft in «Xtreme» setting) above the “start ground zero reference” does NOT change!
- When a negative altitude correction is implemented, the Vigil
®
Cuatro can activate at the preset/default altitude minus the
added altitude correction until 150 ft (300 ft in «Xtreme» setting) above the preset negative altitude correction (the "new landing zone").
It is each's individual's responsibility to make sure he or she, has a fully open main canopy
well above the activation altitude. We recommend allowing approximately 1000 ft between a fully
open main canopy and the activation altitude. This should allow enough time to deal with
emergency procedures (if necessary) and prevent a possible two-canopy out situation.
The possibility to raise the activation altitude, and keep it until manually changed in the « SETUP » menu, has always been in all
Vigil ® AAD's produced since 2003.
