Look for the rescue handle and grasp it firmly with one hand
Pull sidewards / upwards on the handle to release the deployment bag from the harness
container
Look for a clear area, and in a continuous motion, throw (and RELEASE!) the rescue away
from yourself and the glider, preferably into the air stream and against the direction
of spin
After deployment, avoid entanglement and pendulum motions by pulling in the glider as
symmetrically as possible with the B, C, D or brake lines
On landing take an upright body position and be sure to do a PLF (Parachute Landing Fall)
to minimize the risk of injury
Storage/Pockets
The Basis and Basis RC both contain a large back pocket while the Basis RC also has smaller side
pockets. They are positioned to prevent contents from falling out during flight if the pocket is
opened. In the Basis and Basis RC’s back pocket, there is a hole to pass a cable and/or a tube
through for a handheld speaker-microphone or a Camel Bag.
Landing with the Basis or Basis RC
Before landing, slide your legs forward in the harness so that you adopt the standing position.
NEVER land in the seated position; it is very dangerous for your back even if you have back
protection. Standing up before landing is an active safety system, and is much more effective
than the passive system of back protection.
