entangled with someone else’s glider, try to make sure you don’t throw the canopy
into the entanglement, as this will delay the opening.
When you are flying recurrently grab the position of the handle so you can
find it in an emergency!
If you have enough height, first try to resolve the problem and stabilize the
gliderg as far as possible (danger of screwing of the bailout).
If you have not enough height don´t hesitate for pulling the rescue. Do not
forget to unhand the rescue handle!
Packing Instructions
The following manual is aimed at pilots who are competent in folding modern
square reserve parachutes. The manual itself cannot serve as a substitute of
proper training in folding a parachute. ICARO Paragliders can ensure the safety
and reliability of the system only in cases where it was packed by a trained
professional who followed a proper packing process.
Before the packing it is necessary thoroughly inspect it:
Before repacking, the reserve chute must be aired out, ideally for 12 hours in a
cool, dry room.
The packing area must be large enough, clean, level, and dry.
The reserve chute must be subjected to visual inspection and checked for damage
to the canopy, the lines, the suspension points, the main riser and the screw
shackle.
Make sure that the parachute lines are completely disentangled and that both the
lower line and the upper of the reef knot run freely from the risers to the canopy.
1. Use a piece of line to thread the
packing loops together. Do not forget
the four corner loops mounted slightly
further back on the panels.
2. Secure the packing loops for now and
pull on the main riser and the attached
loops until it is taut (no slack).
3. Ensure that the lines are free of twists and tangles - start at the bridle and work
towards the parachute keeping the ‘apex’ lines central and the lines on either
side separated. Double check that none of the lines are twisted around the
‘apex’ lines or each other.
