Parachute system

Components of the parachute system:

1 – parachute compartment cover; 2 – parachute dome; 3 – pockets for laying rigging lines; 4 – rigging lines; 5 – locking ring; 6 – long static line; 7 – short static line with unhook ring system.

Attention

Make sure that the parachute dome, rigging lines and their attachment to the dome are not damaged before laying the parachute. The dome and rigging lines should be dry and clean. Repack the parachute if the previous packaging is more than 10 days ago, or you were carrying the complex in an airplane.

**Packing of the parachute**

1. Check the parachute is not damaged.

2. Make sure the rigging lines are not tangled.

3. Make sure, that rigging lines are not tangled in the process of laying the parachute.

4. Control the position of the rigging lines pockets. They must remain on the outside of the folded dome.

5. Smooth the dome and fold it in half, aligning one side with other.

6. Fold the dome in half and align the edges.

7. As the result, the lines should be collected in 4 bundles with 4 lines in each.

8. Fold the dome in half again. The pockets for laying the lines must be outside.

9. Fold the dome as shown in the picture.

Folding the dome

Make sure that while laying the parachute, the lines haven’t get tangled. If necessary, straighten the lines out.

10. Put lines in the pocket, as you see in picture. To do this, measure the length of the bundle, it should exceed the depth of the pocket. Fold the lines bundle in half and stretch in the pocket, so that the bend of the bundle a few centimeters protruded from the opposite side of the pocket. If necessary, you can eliminate the slack of the lines at the edge of the dome, pulling them over the bend on the opposite side of the bundle.

Put parachute lines into the pocket

11. Move locking ring towards the dome. Put the straps into empty dome pocket.

Result

After laying the remaining lines into the pocket of the dome, locking ring is positioned between the loops of the lines.

12. Fold the dome as shown in the picture.

Installing the parachute in the UAV

1. Turn the UAV upside down so that the parachute compartment is up.

2. Pick up a carabiner and straighten the lines.

3. Put short static line end through the carabiner (as shown in the picture).

5. Put short lanyard end in release system ring and lock the rope between two halfs of the lock.

Placing loop in the lock

Note

Make sure the release system is securely locked. To do that, hold to the parachute dome and pull it up sharply several times.

6. Carefully fold the parachute system ropes and lines on the bottom of compartment.
