2. Technical requirements
The C42 Series micro-light aircraft may be used for dropping skydivers if the
following technical requirements are fulfilled:
- The doors, or at least the right door, must be removed before take-off.
(It is not permitted to open the door during flight.) The additional
instructions for flying the C42 Series with the removed doors must be
followed!
- During the flight the skydiver must be secured at least with the seat belt.
- The pilot and the skydiver must be able to communicate with each other
at all times.
3. Measures prior to the take-off
The pilot and skydiver must agree on the following points before take-off:
- drop zone
- drop altitude
- drop airspeed
- agreed signals
- function and activation of the aircraft's recovery system
Prior to take-off, the course of action for jumping out of the aircraft must be
demonstrated and practised on the ground:
- opening the seat belt
- the skydiver turning outward about 90° and possibly holding on to the
upper tube of the door frame
- changing the grip to the lower cockpit frame and the wing strut
- leaving the aircraft to the side and in front of the wing strut
- ensuring that there is sufficient distance between the skydiver and the
propeller
