CPS Military Solo System DOUBLE BAG STATIC LINE EXIT PROCEDURES

TLO Given a fixed or rotary-wing aircraft, a CPS Military Solo System, with or without combat equipment, and with or without oxygen equipment, execute exit procedures

Exit Theory Three factors that influence a good exit Understanding the Relative Wind Executing a Proper Body Position Maintaining correct Exit Dispersion

Relative Wind Wind force that impacts the jumper on exit Coming from direction of flight Directly related to aircraft speed Will affect your body through out the canopy deployment

Seated Exit Make sure legs straps are tight, chest strap is low & tight, CE is tight when bent over Move between the hinge and the edge of the ramp with feet approximately shoulder width apart and knees slightly bent Bend forward at the waist and extend arms forward and out to the sides Head up, eyes on the horizon

Seated Exit Hop forward off the ramp with pack tray and buttocks exposed to the anchor cable and the relative wind Maintain body position throughout the entire canopy deployment Resist reaching for the rear risers until the forward throw from the aircraft subsides

Seated Exit with Deck Mounted Anchor Line Walk off the center of the ramp Bend forward at the waist Bring feet and knees together Hands tight to the sides Head up, eyes on the horizon Pack tray exposed to the relative wind After 2 second count, transition arms out

Side Door or Rotary Wing Deck On “Stand By”, grasp the edge of the fuselage or deck, and look at the JM On “GO”, vigorously push off and rotate pack tray toward the relative wind Assume deck mounted anchor position Transition to seated exit body position and maintain throughout canopy deployment

Exit Dispersion Exit dispersion will be determined before each evolution Dispersion can be affected by aircraft airspeed and type Dispersion can be determined by static line type and anchor line location as well

Static Line Emergencies Jumper In Tow by Static Line Conscious jumper – jumpmaster cuts static line then jumper executes appropriate emergency procedures Unconscious jumper – jumpmaster will attempt to retrieve jumper into aircraft using retrieval system, or lower to the ground for rotary wing aircraft

Static Line Emergencies Failure to hook up the red static line will result in a total malfunction which will become apparent after the 6 sec. count Pull the red reserve ripcord pillow
