3.2.2. INTERMEDIATE (Int)
The INTERMEDIATE prole is designed for basic training of advanced students and AFF. It is activated when the height above the landing loca-
tion is lower than approx. 330
m
/ 1 100ft and fall rate is higher than approx. 20
m
.s
-1
/ 45
m
ph.
The altitude lock opens at approx. 450
m
/ 1 475ft. The device does not activate when below approx. 60
m
/ 195ft. The activation zone is thus
in the range of approx. 330
m
to 60
m
/ 1 100ft to 195ft above the landing location. It is the recommended setting for students after comple-
ting the rst ten jumps. It is solely upon the decision of the instructor to determine the setting and suitability of its use for a particular student.
Warning:
The speed of approx. 20
m

/ 45
m
ph may be also reached with a fully functional parachute!
If the student-skydiver does not go on with the jump and lands on board the aircraft, switch o the m

3.2.3. PROFESSIONAL (Pro)
The PROFESSIONAL prole is the most commonly used setting of the device. Is designed for experienced skydivers. It is activated when the hei-
ght above the landing location is lower than
approx.
270m / 885
ft
and fall rate is higher than
approx.
35m
.s
-1
/ 78mph. The altitude lock opens
at
approx.
450m / 1 475
ft
. The device does not activate when below
approx.
100m / 330
ft
. The activation zone is thus in the range of
approx.
270m to 100m / 885
ft
to 330
ft
above the landing location.
Warning:
The speed of approx. 35m
.s
-1
/ 78mph may be also reached with a fully functional parachute!
If you are using a high-performance parachute, check the GRAVITY index! (Section 5.4.4.).
