Using the reserve parachute.
We strongly advise you to check frequently the location of the reserve parachute handle
location. To do this, we recommend that you lower your right hand following the risers. This
movement should be done without looking. By doing so, you will maximize your chances of a
rapid extraction if something went wrong and throwing the reserve parachute was called for.
Evaluate your height over the ground. If you have a lot of altitude, it may be better to attempt
a wing recovery to normal flight. But if in any doubt, then deploy your rescue parachute.
Deploying a rescue parachute should be done only in an emergency.
With a strong, lateral and then vertical tug, pull the handle towards you and then throw the
whole parachute (including the bag and handle) as hard as you can towards a clear area
of sky. As soon as the parachute deploys, haul down the glider by pulling as symmetrically
as you can on the risers (C or d D) or on the brakes.
Be prepared to land by adopting an upright position, with knees together and legs slightly
bent. Prepare to roll down with pivoting shoulders. PLF ( Parachute Landing Fall ).
Using the rescue parachute located beneath the seat may be the only possible alternative
if the pilot falls into his wing.
