Emergency Exit
Hi,
I think the NOAH system is a great product.
Below is a note from DG in regard to installations in gliders not made by DG/LS.
“In general it is possible and certified to install NOAH in LS/DG single seaters and Schempp-Hirth (discus/ventus, all fuselages except “a”). We could provide the material kits for those, to be installed in an authorized workshop in the US. For Schleicher (Asw-27, Asg-29 and ASH-26/31) prototypes have been installed, but the installation has not been certified as yet. However we could provide kits as well, only to be installed in “experimental” ships.
All customers who are interested can send us an inquiry and then we will find a solution to deliver the NOAH kit to the USA. We are currently checking availability, installation documentation and prices of the Schempp-Hirth and Schleicher installations.”
Let me know if you want a quote on an NOAH system for your sailplane.
Best Regards,
Paul Remde

Not to change Dave's thread on leaving the Arcus, I was intrigued by
Francois' mention of the slippery cockpit floor in the front cockpit of
the Numbus 4DM.* I've noticed that in most single seaters I've flown and
I'm happy to say that my Stemme is fully carpeted to the forward
bulkhead which makes for better traction when climbing out. It still
takes a lot of upper body strength and, at 70 years old, I'm working out
3 days per week to try to keep some of that.
Everyone, please make every exit after a flight a simulated exit. Locate
those jettison handles, but don't actuate them.* Raise the canopy
normally and then bail out.* Release that belt, rise up, and roll over
the side.* You should have enough slack in oxygen and water hoses to not
stretch them.* But please practice!
