width. To adjust the harness to the optimum position, we recommend simulating flight position by hanging the harness from a suitable fixed
point, therefore with all the items that you normally carry in flight inserted into the back pocket.
IMPORTANT:
- Before making any adjustments, the emergency parachute must be inserted.
- Every adjustment must be made symmetrically on both sides.
- Every adjustment strap has to be tight.
2.3.1- Adjusting seat and back position
This photo shows how the lateral adjustments are arranged, and the many points at which the pilot is actually supported, from the upper back
down to the lumbar area. All these adjustments improve pilot support and enable the harness to be adjusted to all back types.
In the detail photo, adjustment n° 1 changes the angle between thighs and back (seat depth), distributing load between seat and the lumbar
area and thus improving pilot comfort.
Adjustment n° 3 is that which is principally used to alter the angle between the torso and the vertical. Adjustments n° 2 and n° 4 are useful for
fine back adjustments, but they are secondary adjustments that improve contact between the harness back and the pilot’s back, improving
support and comfort.
