3.3- Flying above water
It is inadvisable to use the PASSENGER harness on flights over water. In the event of the pilot being forced to land on the water, the airbag, which is filled with air,
may force the harness into a position that holds the pilot underwater.
Woody Valley recommends the use of a suitable lifejacket when flying over water.
3.4- Landing with the PASSENGER
Before landing, slide your legs out and off the seat surface, so that you take up a standing position. Never land in the seated position; it is very dangerous for your
back even if you have an airbag, which provide exclusively passive protection. Standing up before landing is an active safety precaution, and it is much more
effective than passive forms of protection.
4- FEATURES AND ASSEMBLY OF OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
4.1- Relax-bar
A relax-bar can be fitted to all our harnesses, except for those already incorporating this accessory. The relax-bar is used to keep the legs stretched out and the
feet resting on a support. Some pilots consider this flying position as more comfortable than the classic seated position with legs hanging.
To attach the relax bar to the harness, follow the instructions provided in the relax-bar instruction manual.
