20 m/s-1 (45 mph), or if the altitude above the landing location is less than 200 m (660 ft) and falling speed is over 13 m/s-1 (29 mph)
(*1) . The altitude lock is 450 m (1,475 ft). Activation will not occur under an altitude of 60 m (195 ft). Therefore, the activation zone is in
the range between 330 m and 60 m (1,085 ft and 195 ft) above the landing location.
It is possible to reach a speed of 13m/s (29 mph) on a fully functional parachute!!!
If the student does not jump from the aircraft and returns for the landing, always switch off the m2 STUDENT. If this is not
possible, the aircraft must not descend faster than 13m/s (29 mph).
