AEROPRAKT-22L2 Pilot Operating Handbook A22L2-POH-02
2.12 Recovery system
A-22L2 can be optionally equipped with MAGNUM 501 Light Speed Soft parachute
recovery system. The system is intended for rescue of pilots in case of emergency
situation in flight when emergency landing is not possible (see section 6.5).
Recovery system installation in the airplane is shown on Fig. 16. Parachute in a soft pack
1 is located behind the baggage container on the right side of fuselage. The system is
actuated by pulling the deployment handle 2 connected with the cable 3 to the rocket
container 4. Then the rocket fires and pulls out the parachute connected with the lanyard 5
via the latch ring 6 and cables 7, 9 to the attachment points 8 and 10 on fuselage
structure. Position of the attachment points and length of the cables is selected so that the
airplane is suspended in a certain (wings-level nose-down) attitude when descending with
the parachute open
. This attitude ensures higher degree of safety for pilots during
emergency landing although the aircraft structure is likely to be damaged when absorbing
the landing shock.
