Vigil and Vehicles

Recommended Posts

FYI, this could be for all AADs to.
17. What happens if I forgot to shut down my Vigil when I travel in a moving vehicle (Train, Car, Bus...) ?

Vigil is the most accurate AAD on the market. It becomes operational in a zone of 150ft/46m above or under takeoff level. To avoid unexpected firing, you must switch OFF your Vigil before traveling in a closed vehicle (boot or trunk) due to possible air pressure variation.

Well if you are driving and you are going downhill and there is a storm approaching, the chances are slim but it could happen.
If the unit is on and you slam the door of your car and is a tight seal car, it also could happen

The +150 feet can be inferred from section 4, "Flight Restriction for the Pilot." if there is an extended time (100 seconds) within that window, Vigil assumes a change in surface pressure, not altitude. 100 seconds should be plenty of time for all but the slowest jump planes to climb at least 150 feet.

The Vigil is now ready for use and is in a stand-by status (recalibrating itself every 32 sec).
During take off the Vigil will go to an active status (64 calculations per sec.) above 150
feet or under -150 feet (+ 46 m or – 46 m) in a time of max. 32 sec.

Vigil’s active status will be confirmed by three short flashings of the green led.

Thank you. I have the older version of the manual 2.0.2, and it does not have that.:)



The quote was from version 2.0.7; downloaded from AAD's website. I wonder how many versions/ revisions they've gone thru in the past few years?
