Good to know about emergency parachutes<\/h2>\n

The emergency parachute is an essential part of your equipment and can save your life in an emergency. Here are some important points and recommendations: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Types of <\/strong>parachutes<\/b>: There are round canopies, cross canopies and steerable reserves. Each has advantages and disadvantages, depending on your flying style and needs.<\/li>\n
  2. Size and weight<\/strong>: Make sure that the parachute fits your take-off weight. A reserve that is too small can lead to a higher sink rate.<\/li>\n
  3. Service life<\/strong>: Emergency parachutes have a limited service life, which is specified by the manufacturer (usually 10 years). Older rescuers should be checked or replaced regularly to ensure that they continue to function properly.<\/li>\n
  4. Maintenance<\/strong>: Emergency parachutes must be regularly aired, repacked and checked for damage. Most manufacturers recommend a packing interval of 6 to 12 months.<\/li>\n
  5. Assembly<\/strong>: Make sure that the emergency parachute is correctly integrated into your harness and that the deployment handle is easily accessible.<\/li>\n
  6. Training<\/strong>: Practice throwing the emergency parachute in a safety training course to be prepared in an emergency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Recommendation<\/strong>: Invest in a high-quality reserve that suits your weight and flying style, and have it checked regularly by a professional. Safety comes first!<\/p>\n
