Parachute Deployment
Attenttion: Follow the instructions in the BRS or JUNKERS
PROFLY– parachute operator’s manual provided with your aircraft.
(COMCO IKARUS cannot be held responsible for any malfunctions of the
parachute unless it is proven that the malfunction is caused by a faulty
installation.)
Every Aircraft equipped with a parachute is provided with adequate
instruction manual depending of the parachute manufacture, and a
registered functioning certificate.
Be certain to follow the instructions of the manufacturer for required
maintenance and particularly the avoidance of moisture in the parachute
pack. Should the parachute get wet, it must be aired and repacked. (Only
by the manufacture)
The parachute is placed in the fuselage as described in the appendices of
this manual.
There is a time limit on the use of the rocket cartridge in rocket-deployed
systems. (Please follow the provided manufacturer instructions delivered
with your aircraft)
Removal, replacement or placement of a parachute should be undertaken
by an authorized person or by the aircraft manufacturer to allow proper
guarantee on the product and on the aircraft.
Before taking off, remove the system’s safety pin.
After landing secure the system with the safety pin.
Should you need to make use of the rescue system, you should try to be
in the frame of the parameters described in the parachute user manual:
Shut down the engine before deploying the parachute.
•
Pull the rescue clutch located between and above the 2
occupants
•
Try to steer the aircraft to a less agglomerated direction and
ground
