Maintenance, Cleaning - Kortel Design Krisis Karré 100 Mode D'emploi

Rev. 5
8) Align the canopy upwind if possible
If you are aligned upwind above an obstacle and sink towards it due to strong
headwind, veer and use the tailwind to try and find a more suitable landing area.
9) Landing
Release the brake at a minimum altitude of 20 m and land unbraked without flaring
(also if you are landing with tailwind). An exception is if you try to initiate a side slip to
avoid an obstacle. In this case, pull one of the brakes all the way down to one side
until landing.
10) Inform the rescue services
Since very often search operations are initiated by observers after rescue system
deployments, we highly recommend to contact the police or the rescue immediately
after landing even if there is no personal injury.
Summary
The Krisis Karre provides many options for a safe landing after rescue sytem
deployment.
However, the most important measure in an emergency situation is DEPLOY!!! It is
never too late for the rescue parachute. As long as there is a chance to
deploy, it is ALWAYS the better alternative!
If your altitude is too low, keep watching the ground and prepare for landing.
With the Krisis Karre, you are provided with the largest possible passive safety a
rescue system can currently offer!
You have purchased a rescue system you can always rely on. It went through a large
number of on-flight tests that far exceed the regulatory requirements.
The tests were conducted almost exclusively above ground and thus under real-life
conditions, they included all available sizes and there were no injuries.
Therefore, never wait too long to deploy your rescue system in a problematic situation
during flight.

9. Maintenance, Cleaning

The Krisis Karre rescue sytem by Kortel Design has been designed for heavy-duty use
and to withstand extreme conditions. Accordingly, we have selected only especially
durable high strength quality materials. However, durability strongly depends on the
care and maintenance by the pilot.
Soiled canopies and containers can be cleaned using clear tap water.
Attention: Acid marks or mould spots might affect the strength of the parachute.
Rescue parachutes that are soiled in that way must be sent to the manufacturer for a
check-over and possibly a repair. Never weing or brush the wet canopy!
