TECHNICAL DATA

  • reliable work input main and reserve parachute during jumps from aircrafts and helicopters in the indicated airspeed from 39 till 62,5m/s (140 – 225 km/h) immediate input or any delay opening container valves;
  • input if main parachute by the stabilized system, releasing pore, soft pilot chute;
  • stroke, necessary for input of the pilot chute - not more then 157H;
  • disconnection of the main parachute from harness on the ground and in the air with ring locking devices;
  • stroke, necessary for pulling out disconnection device of the main parachute - not more then 157H;
  • input of the reserve parachute with hand opening device and device of "Transit" system after disconnecting of the main parachute;
  • control of the reserve parachute with two lines;
  • adjustments of the harness for parachutists with the height from 155 till 220cm in summer and winter suits;
  • working temperatures from minus 40 till plus 40оС
  • using of automatic activation device "CYPRES" or semiautomatic PPK-U-165-D (PPK-UVr-165) for doubling of input reserve parachute;
