G4 Owner’s Manual – 11b – Installing The Reserve Deployment Bag And Pilot Chute
Attach The Reserve Pilot Chute To The Reserve Deployment Bag
If an AAD is to be installed on a Mirage built after 2004, the use of a Mirage reserve pilot chute with a concave top is mandatory.
Older flat top Mirage pilot chutes are authorized on earlier Mirages but the modern concave top is recommended.
Attach the reserve pilot chute to the reserve deployment bag by passing the looped end of the bridle through the two bridle loops on the reserve pilot chute.
Then pass the deployment bag through the looped end of the bridle, forming a larks head knot.
Center the larks head knot on the pilot chute bridle loops and cinch tight.
Securing the larks head knot in place by hand tacking with safety tie thread is authorized, but not required.
