07. ATTACHMENT TO THE HARNESS
The Aegis SQ is only available with the short bridle option. The short bridle option is for
harnesses that already have reserve bridles in place.
The Aegis SQ must be connected with a carabiner or by looping through the V-
line to the harness.
When using a connection carabiner the breaking load of the carabiner must have a min.
of 2400 daN.
Each new combination of harness and rescue has to be checked (Compatibility Check)
after the first packing by the manufacturer of the harness or by a trained and appointed
person. Deploying the rescue system has to be possible out from each flying position
according with the requirements of the building regulation. It should be noted that the
release force of 7daN is not exceeded.
08. PACKING INTERVALL
Ideally our parachute should be repacked every 6 months, preferably by a qualified
professional to ensure best operation. Maximal interval is 12 months. It makes sense
when you throw the rescue package for training on this occasion in a clean, dry space.
Before the rescue is repacked it must be subjected to a visual inspection by the packer.
The reserve parachute must therefore be aired at a humidity of 60-65% for 24 hours.
The packing shall be done as possible on a packing table, but at least on a clean,
antistatic surface. The following photos below are from packling the Aegis SQ. We
remind you that you fly at your own risk. This also applies to the use of this life-saving
device.
09. PACKING MANUAL
Before you start to pack, the Aegis SQ should be checked for any damage to the
canopy, the lines and the main riser. The lines should be checked for proper
performance and to unravel if necessary. The Aegis SQ is a square canopy and has
four corners. One of these corners is at the bottom when folding, one corner on the left
and right and the last above.
