RECOMMENDED METHOD OF PROCEEDING
Main parachute deployment
Deploy your parachute at altitudes specified by local regulations!
Before deployment, assume the stable belly position. Grip the collapsible pilot chute handle with your whole hand, pull it in
the direction extending the elongated shape of the collapsible pilot chute pouch, and throw it into the air in the same direction
and as far away from your body as possible. Releasing the pilot chute close to your body may result in pilot chute hesitation.
Upon releasing the pilot chute, resume the stable belly position, keeping your arms parallel to the ground.
Avoid holding on to the pilot chute for too long. This may result in a premature main parachute container opening.
After the canopy inflates check its condition; if the canopy has inflated properly, unstow your steering lines by gripping the
steering toggles, and pulling them downwards vigorously and symmetrically.
Proceeding in case of malfunctions
CONTROL YOUR ALTITUDE! ACT DECISIVELY AND SWIFTLY!
If the main parachute has emerged from the container but the canopy did not inflate properly, cut it away using the cutaway
handle located on the right main strap of the harness under the chest strap. Try to remain in the stable belly position. Get a
visual on the cutaway handle and grip it with one or both hands. Rip it from the pouch (1) with a rounded hand movement
(away from your body), and pull it vigorously downwards along your chest towards the hip until your arm is fully stretched out
(2), then drop it (Photo No. 88).
Get a visual on and grip the reserve parachute deployment handle with both hands (it is located on the left main strap of the
harness under the chest strap). Rip it from the pouch with a rounded hand movement (away from your body), and pull it
vigorously downwards along your chest towards the hip until your arm is fully stretched out (Photo No. 89). Resume the
stable belly position, keeping your arms parallel to the ground.
