7.1.1
Important notes for jump pilots
•
Unless an altitude adjustment has been set, CYPRES will not be armed if the
aircraft is exited before it reaches 1500ft (450m) for the Military CYPRES,
3000ft (900m) for the Military Tandem CYPRES and 3500 ft (1100m) for the
Military Bundle CYPRES above the height at which the jumper intends to land.
Once the aircraft has climbed through that altitude and CYPRES has become
fully operational it will work for any exit height.
•
An aircraft must never descend to altitudes below the elevation of the airfield of
departure.
•
When using a pressurized aircraft, make sure that the cabin remains open when
the turbines are started up. Leave a window, a door, or the ramp open a bit until
after lift-off. This will ensure that cabin pressure cannot build up above the air
pressure on the ground.
It is the parachutist's responsibility to make sure that jump pilots are informed of
circumstances that will interfere with CYPRES' proper functioning. Should a jump
pilot be unable to comply with these requirements, or should you discover after a
jump that the requirements have not been met, you should switch CYPRES off and
on again prior to the next jump or use the CYPRES in the special mode.
