AMC1 31TGB.51 Rapid deflation means

ED Decision 2013/011/R

Rapid deflation means are used to deflate the envelope in cases like e.g. when:

-           wind speeds increase above the wind speed limitations for low mooring;

-           required during inflation before attachment of the tether cable; or

-           included in emergency procedures for unintended free flight.

Note: The rapid deflation means for low mooring acts automatically when the balloon is not being monitored by an operator.
