7. COMPATIBILITY TEST
If any part of a harness/container/reserve combination is new or has been changed, the correct
installation and deployment of the harness/container/reserve combination
MUST
be proven by a
test release, also known as a
Compatibility Test
.
The harness/container/reserve combination should be tested in as realistic a situation as possible.
The pilot sits in a normal flying position in the harness hanging by its carabiners. Anything else is
inadequate!
A satisfactory test requires that the reserve is released by the pilot in this situation! A safe reserve
release requires that the force needed is between 4 and 8 daN. If you are not sure about your test
result, or have other queries, please ask a qualified person.
7.1 Compatibility test advice
The mystique surrounding the parachute rigger’s profession has been handed down from military
life. This is no-mistake territory, for good reason, aviation regulations are “written in blood”!
Provided you arrange suitable harness hanging facilities – two rope loops over a tree branch or tie
beam, or the use of a harness hanger – a compatibility test is not difficult or inconvenient. It simply
proves that you, the pilot, can successfully pull your reserve out of its stowage while in flight. It is
also an important rehearsal of your first and most important action in an emergency situation.
It is not difficult to put the inner container back in its place. The compatibility test does not check
the inner container’s opening behaviour, but you can practice the pull and the throwing motion as
deploying a reserve.
