Rigging Innovations Inc. Excelling in their respective areas of expertise, Precision designed the ram-air canopy and Rigging Innovations the specialized harness and container system. Together these complementary components combine to provide a system that is light weight, comfortable, simple to use and provides a high degree of safety and performance unmatched by existing systems. The P-124 Aviator was first shown at the PIA Symposium in 1993. The rig is certified for up to 300 lbs at 175 knots. The F-111 seven cell canopy is built with chordwise upper surfaces and spanwise lower surfaces which maximizes canopy strength while minimizing bulk.
Spectra line is standard.
In testing conducted near Wright Patterson Air Force Base, the P-124 scored better than any other canopy when compared with a group of 35 pilot emergency canopies submitted for testing by 20 parachute manufacturers around the world. Available in 4 sizes, the custom airfoil allows the canopy rapid inflation characteristics for minimum altitude loss. Opening in a braked configuration allows docile handling characteristics. Consequently there is no additional training required of aircrew personnel over and above what they receive on current systems. If the canopy is the heart, then the Aviator harness and container is the body that provides substance to the system.
