AIR TOURQUOISE SA CH-1844 VILLENUEVE
The ALFAcross*100 is a manually deployable rescue system it is for suitable paragliding
pilots in an emergency situation and is made by high quality light materials and has a
quadratic canopy with one middle line which pull down apex.
Rescue systems from FLUGGERÄTE GmbH are characterized by a high level of reliability
and maximum material strength. Fastest inflation while maintaining moderate sink rates are
features of these systems.
The material is air permeable, strong nylon. There are bands sewn into the main seams to
strengthen the canopy. The base and side edges are reinforced with bands. The apex is
pulled. The lines are grouped into a strap. This strap generates the connection between
rescue system and harness.
The rescue system is sewn to NATO standards which means that all rescue systems are
sewn by professionals and delivered only after inspection and approvals.
The specially designed inner container prevents the lines cannot get caught up in the cap
and the opening speed is accelerated with this inner container.
When using a different inner container, it is
important to ensure that the rescue system can
be thrown without problem.

What to do when it happens?
If you find yourself in an uncontrollable situation in the air, pull hard on the deployment
handle. This will open the outer reserve container and release the reserve parachute. Then
throw the reserve package forcefully away from you. As the suspension lines become tight,
the container will fall away and the reserve will open.
If your glider is rotating it pays to throw the reserve against the rotation as this will speed up
the inflating process. If you have had a collision and find yourself entangled with someone
else’s glider tries to make sure you don’t throw the canopy into the entanglement, as this will
delay the opening.
When you are flying recurrently grab the position of the handle
so you can find it in an emergency!!
If you have enough height, first try to resolve the problem and
stabilize the rescue as far as possible
(danger of screwing of the bailout).
If you have not enough height don´t hesitate for
pulling the rescue.
Do not forget to unhand the rescue handle!

Packing Instructions
Packing preparations
Before you pack the rescue system it is important that the canopy is spread out on the
ground for about six hours.
If possible, it would be even better to air it one night long by hanging it up by the top lines.
Before the rescue system gets packed, a release control must be carried out. The release
force should be between 50 and 80 N.
Pulling the packing line trough the fixing loops
To help you pack the rescue system, use a short piece of old paraglider line and thread it
through all the apex fixing loops. The fixing loops are sewn on the canopy.
Attach the line to a stable fixed point. Sort out the suspension lines.
Take line 1 and the last one (20) stretch the lines so they are running parallel to the main
strap and make sure that the middle line is in the middle and the other lines to the side.
There should not be any tangles or knots in the lines.
All lines must have a straight course and may not have any twists.

Sorting the panels
Take the lines in your hand as shown on the photo
and fold over each panel from the left side on to
right side like turning the pages in a book and pull
the top of the opening outward.
Start with panel 1, the last one is panel 20.
Now you can see the opening of panel 1.
Fold the opening like a triangle.
Sort the next panels to the left side until you see
the opening of panel 16. Fold it like panel 1.
Do the same up to panel 11.
Now fold all panels from the right side to the left. Put the first five panels to the right side until
you can see the opening of panel 6. Fold the opening like a triangle.
Afterwards fold the following panels to panel 10 on
the right side. When you see panel 11 fold the last
of 4 triangles.
Afterwards check both sides.
On each side there must be 10 panels.
Check the lines. You can divide the lines in to three
parts on the left, one to the right and the middle
line.
All lines must have a straight course and may
not have any twists.

Remove the line from the fixing loops!
Folding the canopy into thirds
The left third is folded onto the middle and then the
right third is folded under the middle. Do the same
on top of the canopy.
Fold the protruded triangles and pay attention to
the size of the container!
S-folding canopy to fit into inner container
Fold the canopy in “S” folds from the top right down to the base, so that it fits into the inner
container.
Page 9
Now is the last time to remove the helping line from the fixing loops!
Now put the canopy into the inner container. Close both sides of the inner container with the
white rubber band and pull the suspension lines through the rubber band for closing.
Fold the suspension lines using two fingers in “S” bundles and fix with special rubber bands.
These are special rubber bands which you can buy from the manufacturer and you
must novate it after each time you repack.
Use the last 50 cm of the suspension lines for the final closing of the inner container.
Place the folded suspension lines into the pocket as shown.
