SIGMA TANDEM SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL

11301 - 00.00.0000

Section X - Title of Section

4) Canopy transfers:

A canopy transfer, where the reserve is deployed without first jettisoning the main, is not recommended with a ram-

air reserve under normal circumstances, nor is it recommended with Tandem. The reserve pilot chute may not have

enough drag to extract the reserve freebag from its container. If it does, the resulting deployment will be unpredictable.

RESERVE CANOPY PROCEDURES

Steering the reserve parachute:

The reserve is set up exactly the same as the main, except the toggles do not have the double loop for student

assistance, but are set up for Tandem Instructor solo control.
