Safety Information
Post Impact Fire
If there is no fire prior to touchdown and the pilot is able to shut down
the engine, fuel, and electrical systems, there is less chance of a post
impact fire. If the pilot suspects a fire could result from impact,
unlatching a door immediately prior to assuming the emergency
landing body position should be considered to assure rapid egress.
Ground Gusts
If it is known or suspected that ground gusts are present in the landing
zone, there is a possibility that the parachute could drag the airplane
after touchdown, especially if the terrain is flat and without obstacles.
In order to assure that the occupants can escape the airplane in the
timeliest manner after the airplane comes to rest, the pilot may elect to
unlatch the copilot's door for the CAPS landing. Occupants must be in
the Emergency Landing Body Position for touchdown. Occupants must
not loosen seat belts until the airplane comes to rest. When the
airplane comes to rest, the occupants should exit the airplane and
immediately move upwind to prevent a sudden gust from dragging the
airplane in their direction.
