16 Rescue deployment resistance test Test ID resc depl Standard Nfl II 91 / 9 Test standard : Requirements [kn]:.7 Min force to prevent unwanted opening [kn]:.2 The deployment of the rescue system has to be ensured in all circumstances, especially with a damaged glider. The pilot has to be able to deploy the rescue chute with a single pull out of the outer container, single handed and in an anatomical favorable direction. In order to simulate this, the test responsible deploys the rescue seated in the harness. In a similar way as in real flight. The deployment resistance is approximately measured by the load cell, which is placed between the hand of the test responsible and the rescue hand grip. On the other hand inadvertent deployment has to be fairly remote. Therefore a shear link has to withstand a minimum load. Measured peak to peak required force for deployment [kn]: Test result 2 N: POSITIVE Test result 7 N: POSITIVE Graph: RRDT RRDT Requirements [kn]: Min force to prevent unwanted opening [kn]: Requirements [kn]: Force (KN) GB REV ISO Page 16 / 17 Annex TEST ID resc depl

17 Rescue deployment strap strength test Test ID resc strap Standard EN & Nfl II 91 / 9 Test standard : (EN 12491) & (LTF) Test setup: Requirements[kN]:.7 Requirements[s]: 1 Duration of maintained load [s]: 11.5 Breaking resistance [KN]: 1.13 Graph: RRST The handgrip of the outer container has to be connected to the inner container with a removable loop in a way that it is possible to use the inner container with different types of outer containers. The connection between handgrip and inner container has to have sufficient load capacity/structural strength in any situation that may arise during normal operation. In order to verify this, the connection is tested on its tensile strength by a default tensile testing setup. In addition to this the breaking resistance will also be measured.
