Throwing the reserve parachute
It is strongly recommended to frequently check your reserve parachute handle location while in flight. This exercise should be executed
instinctively and will increase your chances of a successful parachute extraction in case of an emergency.
Estimate your AGL ( Altitude Above Ground Level ), which if high enough may make it worth trying to bring your wing back to a normal flying
configuration. If in doubt, quickly deploy your emergency 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 parachute away from you ( including the contain-
er and its handle ) toward a clear unobstructed area of the sky. As soon as the parachute deploys, bring as much of the glider as possible
toward you by pulling as symmetrically as possible on the "C" or "D" risers or on the toggles/brakes.
Be prepared to land by adopting an upright position, with knees together and legs slightly bent. Prepare to roll down with pivoting shoulders
in a paragliding fall (PLF).
To takeoff under tow, you must be equipped with a quick release specially designed for the task.
Connect the tow bridle to the wing riser loops with a Dyneema adaptor with a resistance greater or equal to 300kg. The tow bridle will then be fastened
by using a lark's head knot or an adapted metal link.
To complete the installation, follow the tow bridle reales manufacturer's recommendations.
Mandatory biannual inspection :
- Ascertain parachute deployment functionality by pulling the handle to activate a clean POD extraction sequence
- Inspect the harness for wear and tear.
Annual check :
An annual deployment and repacking of the reserve parachute must be conducted by competent and certified personnel.
