within 1.7 seconds of actuation and fully inflate within seven
seconds. The A5 parachute system is coupled to a landing gear
interconnect that automatically extends the landing gear to help
cushion the touchdown. Descent rate of the aircraft after parachute
deployment is approximately 1200 ft/min (20 ft/sec).
7.17.1 ICON PARACHUTE SYSTEM (IPS) ACTUATION
IPS actuation is recommended for any of the following:
•
Loss of Aircraft Control
•
Engine Failure and < 1000 ft AGL with NO SUITABLE landing
area
•
Pilot Incapacitation or inability to cope with situation or flight
conditions
Parachute Deployment
1.
Safety Pin—CONFIRM REMOVED, Remove if necessary
2. Parachute Handle—PULL HARD
3. Ignition Key—OFF
Notes:
Approximately 48 lb
f
of force is required to actuate the IPS.
Optimal IPS actuation is from level flight above 500 ft AGL.
Descent rate under parachute will be approximately 1200 ft/min.
Landing gear will automatically extend following IPS actuation. Once
extended, it cannot be raised.
Seat belts should remain secure during descent until contact with
the surface and all motion stops.
At pilot’s discretion, consider unlocking canopy and removing
windows during descent.
Exit the aircraft after all motion stops.
The ELT may not activate during IPS deployment or touchdown. It is
therefore recommended to manually activate the ELT during the
descent.
