2.1.3- Inserting the reserve parachute into the harness
Push the slider of the zipper that encloses the bridle into its Lycra cover located behind the pilot’s neck, then open the zipper starting from the reserve
container flap, in order to free the bridle route that goes from the shoulder loops to the rescue parachute container under the seat. Next attach the rescue
parachute to the harness following one of the three methods explained above. Then enclose the parachute bridle by closing the zipper, moving the slider
from its original position to the end of the zipper near the rescue parachute container, and then leave the slider in that position until the rescue parachute
container has been completely closed.
Insert the reserve parachute into the pocket of the harness, so that the handle is visible and facing outwards, and the loop connecting the handle to the
deployment bag is facing upwards.
Close the two zips at the sides of the large flap of the reserve container.
Insert the large white elastic loop that is closest to the bridle route (near the back of the harness), into the first (rear) eyelet of the large flap. Insert the
second big elastic loop into its corresponding (middle) eyelet. Note: the bridle must pass BETWEEN the two elastic loops and not at the side of them.
Pass the middle elastic loop through the first (rear) loop, then bring the small elastic loop through the remaining (forward) eyelet and insert this through the
middle loop (using some cord to help).
Make sure the rescue handle connection comes out between the big (middle) elastic loop and the small elastic loop and that is loose enough for proper
extraction.
Insert the pin into the small elastic loop and place the rescue handle in the right location.
