Amplification
Jerking or rapidly pulling the activation T-handle will greatly
increase the pull forces required to activate the rocket. Use a
firm and steady pulling motion – a "chin-up" type pull ensures
successful activation.
The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) should be activated
immediately in the event of a spin. It should also be used in other life-
threatening emergencies where CAPS deployment is determined to
be safer than continued flight and landing.
