Section E
8 - EMERGENCY PARACHUTE SYSTEM
(optional)
The system's main components (shown in figure E-12 below) include a capsule located
inside the launch tube and set-off by pyrotechnic charges and a nylon container that hous-
es the parachute rigged, in turn, to a cable attached to the cabin's metal framework. A
flexible command cable is attached to bottom of launch tube, crosses the aft cabin bulk-
head, passes below floor matting and reappears on dashboard connected to trigger control.

ARACHUTE INSTALLATION
Remove safety pins from trigger control before each flight and reposition immediately
after landing. Check flexible command cable periodically insuring cable is not bent ex-
cessively along route. With reference to parachute Operator's Manual (furnished to
client), check periodically proper condition of pyrotechnic charges, integrity of main sup-
port cable and proper attachment to cabin framework. Check periodically parachute exit
hatch and, if found unglued (because of accidental hits or other ) reattach using two-face
adhesive tape as that used for upholstery; do not use silicone or other strong adhesive.
