What size canopy for the emergency parachute
All the emergency parachutes that we offer are produced and tested according
to TSO standards. The TSO labels guarantee adherence to the production
guidelines and minimal performance standards which are defined in the
"Aeronautical Standards - Minimum Performance Standards for Parachute
Assemblies and Components." In addition to the different harnesses
- like Back, Seat and Chair - pilot's body weight is also a major factor
in determining the proper parachute system. The maximum weight includes
the pilot's body weight plus the weight of the equipment.
