Firmly pull the parachute activation handle out 18 inches with as much as 20
pounds of force. The system should complete inflation in 1.5 – 3.5 seconds.
Maximum speed for aircraft parachute deployment at gross weight: 135 Kts.
If time permits, make the proper emergency transmissions on the VHF radio and
transponder. The airplane should descend at approximately 1260 FPM depending on
weight, pressure altitude, temperature, and any deployment damage.
In some situations, the aircraft may be controllable to an extent after the system has
been deployed. If in a nose-low attitude and sufficient airflow over the control
surfaces exists, limited control in flight may be accomplished. If this is possible,
make every effort to guide the airplane toward an isolated landing zone, but do not
attempt a “drop-in” landing into a confined or congested area.
As the airplane nears the ground, assume impact position to decrease the risk of
injury. Limbs should be pulled in close to the body, and the face should be covered
for protection from possible flying debris. If the descent rate is approximately 1260
FPM (approx. 14 MPH), the airplane should strike the ground with the same force as
if it had been dropped from a height of about eight feet.
This handbook does not account for all aspects involved in
deploying the aircraft parachute system. It is the responsibility of
the operator, aircraft pilot to fully understand this system by
consulting the latest Galaxy
