2.6.1 The WSC functionality
During a Wing Suit Flight you probably fly at a
low vertical speed. Possibly too low for a usual
AAD to function. To just lower the activation
speed of the device to the needs of the Wing Suit
Flight is not a suitable solution because you might
exceed that low vertical speed while being under
your main canopy and thereby trigger a reserve
opening. That is dangerous. You possibly would
generate a deadly entanglement or at least a two
canopy out scenario, which bears a significant risk.
In addition you must consult a rigger, pay for a
cutter and pay for a repack.
The WSC wants to provide a solution for these new
requirements, which are challenges caused by the
use of modern Wing Suits.
The WSC attempt to this problem is: two different
states providing two different sets of activation
criteria for one jump.* For the first part of your
descent the WSC uses the Wing Suit Status. For
your canopy flight it uses the Canopy Status.
The Status change is done by the WSC and indi-
cated by the WSC Audio.
To avoid any uncertainty or confusion for yourself
it is mandatory that you always know in which
Status the WSC is working.
While the WSC is designed to eliminate a part of
the risk arising from the Wing Suit flight itself,
it should not create limitations on your canopy
flight manoeuvres. To cover this, the WSC allows
you to choose from two different modes for the
Canopy Status.
You can either use the Expert CYPRES mode or
alternatively use the Speed CYPRES mode. The
choice should be determined by your personal
habits. The Expert mode is preferable, if you are
a normal or a bit faster canopy pilot - therefore the
Expert (see Section 2.5) is the WSC default setting.
