Intended Use; Operating Limits; Required Documents; Mode Of Operation - Kortel Design Krisis Karré 100 Mode D'emploi

Rev. 5

4. Intended use

Manually deployed emergency parachute for single seat and tandem paragliders.

5. Operating limits

• Maximum operating speed: 115 km/h (32 m/s)
• Packing interval: 12 months; subsequently, re-packing is required and must be
documented in the packing and inspection record
• Inspection interval: We recommend a full inspection of the rescue system every
24 months; re-inspections must be documented in the packing and inspection
record
• Permissible operating time: 10 years; subsequently up to 12 years when re-
inspected yearly

6. Required documents

• Operating instructions
• Packing and inspection record
• The enclosed engineering specifications for this air sports equipment is part of
these operating instructions

7. Mode of operation

In the case of an emergency situation during flight, deploy the reserve parachute by
pulling the release handle with a firm and quick motion. This causes the outer
container to open and the parachute (still packed inside the inner container) is
deployed into the airstream. The release handle is thereby thrown away together with
the reserve system!
The inner container is constructed in such a way that it releases the suspension lines
and the canopy with a little time lag. This way, unintended early opening is prevented
and the risk of the lines becoming tangled with the glider, the pilot or another object
or person (e.g. in the case of a crash with another pilot) is minimised. Moreover, the
inner container must gain enough speed after release to provide for a fast opening of
the emergency parachute.
In general, the quicker you throw the reserve system, the faster can its canopy unfold
and open.
After the inner container has been deployed, the suspension lines are released from
their separate compartment. The canopy is released only after the suspension lines
are fully stretched. The long lines concept of the Krisis Karre in combination with its
special packing method considerabley reduces the risk of the rescue system and the
glider becoming tangled after deployment.
