parachute will open.
After the throw, the deployment bag systematically opens and releases the lines and then the
canopy. The powerful throw and/or the airstream stretches the lines and canopy and the
rescue parachutes opens.
After the rescue parachute is opened completely, it is paramount to check the altitude above
ground. If you have sufficient height, make every effort to de-power and recover your glider to
avoid being situated in a V-position between the paraglider and the rescue parachute (down-
planing). In the use with a hang glider you should try to get in an upright position and climb
into the trapeze. If you do not have enough height anymore, just focus on the ground and
prepare yourself for a landing fall.
This parachute system has been tested and found compliant using the original
manufacturer's inner container. Use of any other inner container may produce different
results, including failures
6. Control and Inspection of the parachute
A parachute must be inspected by a registered/approved packer or instructor with the relevant
experience and qualifications (where applicable) before it is repacked. After being deployed
during an emergency, the parachute must be inspected by the manufacturer or a workshop,
which is authorized by the manufacturer. A repacked parachute should undergo a release test.
This establishes whether the power to release is between 2 kp and 7 kp.
The inspection includes a complete visual examination of all components (cloth, seams, lines,
bridles etc) for damage and wear. For an inspection, suitable tools must be utilized (light table,
repack tools etc).
7. Behaviour if damage is identified
If you notice any damage to any component of the rescue parachute which may affect the
airworthy condition, send the rescue parachute for inspection/repair to the manufacturer /
approved repair centre. Additionally, if you are not sure about the airworthy condition in any
way, send the parachute to the manufacturer / approved repair centre.
Attention: Chemicals, detergents, insects, mould stains or the like can have the same negative
effects to the strength of the components as mechanical influences.
