schools who have received comprehensive instruction in the task of compatibility testing.
The harness-reserve-pilot combination must be tested in a realistic arrangement. That is,
the pilot is in normal flight position while the harness is hooked to its main carabiners.
It has to be checked:
•
That the release handle is easy to reach and grasp.
•
That the inner container can be pulled out of the outer container easily and effortlessly.
The pulling power on the release handle should be between 4 and 8 daN. During the
release test, the inner container must be fully extracted.
• That the configuration of the release handle, the inner container and their connection
allows for a forceful throwing away of the inner container in one pull with the extraction.
•
Which pilot position results with the selected harness settings when the harness is
hooked to the attachment points of the reserve.
After the compatibility check has been completed and passed, the rescue parachute
inside its inner container is reinstalled in the harness container compartment or external
outer container in accordance with the operating instructions. Particular attention must be
paid to the following:
