Why Vigil? - School

A skydive center has two main factors that can make or break your organisation:
  1. Safety
  2. Profitability

This obliges you to invest continuously in jumpmasters, equipment, advertisement and safety.

Vigil can help you :

Safety:

  • In a controversy in regards of the safety rules on your DZ, you have a real tool, (optional I.R. download box) to analyse the downloaded graph.
  • After a cutter activation, you can download the concerned jump graph to analyse what has happened.
  • This will help you to improve the safety rules on the DZ.
  • The unique patented time calculation system provides an opening accuracy of +/- 20m.
  • In case of an incorrect configuration, for example, a wrong altitude correction or mode, it will be easy to detect it during the inspection thanks to the alphanumeric display.
  • A new patented cutter with a circular knife that cuts the loop instantly . (less than 1 milli/sec)
  • Battery protected by the metal case and moulded in epoxy to avoid any possible leakage.
  • Students sometimes have hard landings or drop their rigs on the floor. A solid metal case secures the electronics and the kevlar rope absorbs the traction on the wire.
  • There are no intermediate connectors on the wires of the Vigil®, so no risk for interconnection failure or damage. No risk of disconnection.

 

Profitability:

  • Vigil® is a multipurpose AAD:
    • Less spare units required: can be used for any type of skydivers (Students – Pro or Tandem).
    • Vigil® memory permits you to control and invoice the correct number of jumps
  • Low maintenance cost and easy cutter replacement.
  • You get a warning when the maintenance is required as in most cars today. Every time the Vigil® is switched on, it will do its own check.
    Only when a parameter is out of tolerance, it will not switch on and you need to bring it in.
    Our concept is made that no maintenance schedule is imposed.
  • As the Vigil® does not require the maintenance, you can optimise its use.
  • The Vigil® is designed for a 20 year’s lifetime, which will increase the return on the investment.
  • A free cutter will be supplied against each real and complete Life Saving Report.
