MILITARY CYPRES USER'S GUIDE

Page 56

Airtec GmbH

Abbreviated User's Guide

! This chapter concerns the standard mode only !

! Activate CYPRES only on the ground !

Activate CYPRES only when on the ground, never in the aircraft!

When

airfield and dropzone

are in

the same place

, always switch CYPRES on or

off and back on again when

•

it arrives at the dropzone by any means other than under an open canopy (e.g.,
by car or by walking back from landing away from the dropzone.)

•

a flight to altitude, or a flight-plus-jump has taken longer than 1,5 hours.

If in doubt, switch it off. To continue jumping, switch it on again.
