3.8 Operational limits
WARNING!
The rescue systems Salvage SQ is not suitable for use at speeds in excess of
32 m/s (115 km/h).
MAC PARA require a mandatory, one-year repacking interval for your parachute reserve.
Shorter intervals than the one-year minimum requirement, to more often air out and repack
your rescue, helps to keep your rescue in good condition.
However, we recommend every 24 months a review of the rescue system.
After each case of a real emergency opening the Salvage SQ rescue device should be
checked by the manufacturer. Permissible operating time: 10 years in compliance with the
pack intervals and storage regulations. An extension up to 12 years is possible after an
inspection of the manufacturer.
