Take-Off

Before taking off it is extremely important to
adjust the harness so that you can be sure to get
into a sitting position easily after the take-off.
1. Put on the harness.
2. Fasten the leg buckles, and then the chest
strap buckle.
3. Push the leg straps down as far as possible
towards the knee, and then tighten them up
(if the leg straps are too high, it is diffi cult to get
into the harness after the take-off without using
one's hands).
4. If necessary, loosen the shoulder straps (the
shoulder straps are adjusted according to the
size of the pilot, but must allow some free
movement, so that one can run easily).
5. Check that the lumbar straps are well-adjusted
so as to enable the required position after the
take-off.
6. Check that the chest strap is pre-adjusted
correctly.
7. Make sure that the leg straps and the chest
strap buckles are fastened correctly (closing
the buckles improperly often results in
accidents).

Landing

During the fi nal approach change the sitting
position to the stading position. Do not hesitate
with the change of positions so that spinal
injuries caused by seated landings can be
avoided. Under no circumstances become
complacent about being equipped with a back
injury protection.
