Transport; Pre-Flight Checklist; Specifics For Paraglider Winch Launch - Kortel Design Krisis Karré 100 Mode D'emploi

Rev. 5
Tests and deployments during trainings on the G-Force Trainer showed that
deployments under centrifugal force can sometimes lead to considerably higher
release forces and coordination problems of the pilot. Complementary to the k-test,
we thus recommend to test the individual combination of harness and rescue system
in the course of a training under centrifugal force (4,0 - 5,0 g).
Moreover, we highly recommend to check the pilot position and harness adjustment at
the suspension points of the rescue system. Independent of the type of rescue system
used, a deployment might lead to a very unfavourable and critical pilot position,
particularly if the harness is equipped with a „Get-Up" system and if the suspension
points for the rescue system are located very far back on the harness (behind the
shoulder straps).
We thus recommend to use a harness with conventional 3-clasp system (redundant
„fail-safe" constructions are considerably more reliable) where the suspension points
for the rescue system are located not so far back (on the shoulder straps and not
behind them).

19. Transport

Take care that the rescue system is not exposed to extreme heat during transport
(e.g., in the boot of a car in the summer). Also, it should always be handled with care
(keep it clean, do not put any sharp or heavy items onto it, etc.). When packing it into
the paraglider pack sack, be careful not to damage the rescue system with buckles or
other items and to not accidentally open the release handle.

20. Pre-flight checklist

In addition to the standard pre-flight check (see paraglider / harness operating
instructions, possibly winch etc.), also the correct closure of the rescue system
container and the proper fit of the release handle have to be checked prior to each
takeoff.
If the rescue system connecting line is unhinged after each flight (e.g., when using a
front container system), the pre-flight check has to also include the correct
attachment of the risers!
Attention: The Krisis Karre features two separate suspension points. Each of them
must be connected to on one side and in flight direction.

21. Specifics for paraglider winch launch

For winch launching, please pay attention to the harness, paraglider and winch
manufacturers' provisions! When using a front container, it must be ensured that
rescue system deployment is possible at any time.
