Rescue Parachutes by Weight

When delving into the world of paragliding, choosing a rescue parachute is crucial for ensuring flight safety. At Air et Aventure, we understand the importance of this decision and offer a wide range tailored to every weight and need. Here is a guide to help you select the ideal rescue parachute based on your total flight weight.

Understanding the Importance of Weight

Choosing a rescue parachute must consider the total weight of the pilot with equipment. The weight directly influences the descent rate and stability of the parachute. An overloaded parachute increases the risk of rapid descent and oscillations, while an underloaded parachute can reduce stability in flight.

Types of Rescue Parachutes

  • Round: Designed to create maximum drag with minimal surface area, offering a quick opening but susceptible to oscillations.
  • Square: Evolved from the round design, it aims to reduce oscillations and improve descent speed for a softer landing.
  • Rogallo: Offers the best opening speed and lowest descent rate due to its steerable capability, allowing obstacle avoidance and landing spot selection.
  • Square-Round (SQR) and Pentagon: Innovative combinations aimed at improving stability and opening speed while minimizing the drawbacks of previous models.

Size and Weight

The parachute size should match the pilot's total flight weight, including equipment. A parachute that is too small or too large can compromise both safety and comfort. It is recommended to choose a parachute where the total flight weight is close to 85% of the specified maximum load to ensure optimal descent rate and stability.

Why Differentiate Rescue Parachutes by Weight?

Rescue parachutes are not only differentiated by their shapes or technologies. They also differ in weight and volume, so one might prefer lighter or heavier rescue parachutes based on their needs.

Standard Weight Rescue Parachutes

These are the heaviest rescue parachutes. Generally the most affordable, they are also used by smaller pilots who need to add weight to optimize their Total Flight Weight (TFW). However, they are quite bulky, so make sure that your harness has enough space for the rescue parachute. These parachutes typically weigh between 1.6 and 2 kilos.

Light Rescue Parachutes

Light rescue parachutes are the best sellers because they represent the best compromise between weight, volume, and price. Weighing generally between 1.2 kilos and 1.6 kilos, they are either round or square in shape.

Ultra Light Rescue Parachutes

The most expensive range of rescue parachutes, they are generally square or flat in shape, and are true technological marvels. Indeed, they are the most optimized rescue parachutes to achieve the largest active surface area relative to the total fabric surface area. By improving the active surface area, manufacturers need less material to make the parachute, which means less weight. These parachutes are well under one kilo, even below 800 grams for the lightest models, such as the Tapa X Alps from Skywalk.

Purchase Tips

  • Choose a certified parachute, with tests demonstrating opening times under 5 seconds and a safe descent rate.
  • Ensure that the parachute is compatible with your harness and easy to deploy in all conditions.
  • Select a rescue parachute that matches your practice and needs.
