Harness
All approved harnesses with suspension at chest height are suitable for the Papillon P42. The lower
the suspension point of the harness, the better the Papillon P42 can be controlled by shifting the
weight.
For the pilot, special tandem harnesses have proven to be effective and provide optimum freedom
of movement during take-off, flight and landing. A simple, uncomplicated harness is recommended
for the passenger. Too many adjustment options confuse the passenger. Important for the passenger
harness is a good protector, preferably a shock-absorbing foam protector, because some passengers
tend to sit down at the first touch on the ground instead of running along. Consider that the relative
braking distance also changes with the height of the suspension of the harness.
The P42 is approved for harnesses without rigid cross bracing. The suspension height of the har -
nesses used in the test flights was 42cm between seat board and carabiner and a horizontal dis -
tance of 46cm between the chest straps.

Suitable Rescue Systems
Not only is it mandatory to carry a suitable and approved rescue parachute, it is absolutely vital for
the safe operation of a paraglider. When selecting the rescue parachute, ensure that it is suitable and
approved for the intended take-off weight.
Special tandem rescue devices are necessary here. The suspension loop (s) of the rescue must be con -
nected to the V-lines and attached to the appropriate suspension of the spreader (in case of attach -
ment to the pilot harness, there is a danger that the passenger will hang about one meter lower). This
could cause serious injury to the passenger during landing!
The rescue must be stowed in the pilot’s harness, and an incorrect opening on the part of the pilot or
passenger must be ruled out. Learning how to handle the rescue equipment during a safety training
course is highly recommended, as the tandem parachutes of today are extremely difficult to pull in due
to the developing forces with their more than 40 sqm after a parachute launch. The advantage here
is the use of approved separating karabiners, which can be purchased from specialist retailers. When
purchasing the separating karabiners, care must be taken to ensure that they are approved for the
intended load range.
In the Papillon Shops we will be pleased to advise you personally and assist you with the
choice of the flight equipment, which best suits your needs and requirements.
