Niviuk APAIR Inflatable Protection for Arrow P and Arrow P2

Components of the Apair protection system:

• Apair Inflatable Protection
• Inflation Hose
• Air Inlet/Outlet Valve
• Infbag Cover

The Apair Inflatable Protection, designed specifically for harnesses Arrow P and Arrow P Race, is ideal for
pilots seeking compactness, safety, and lightness for their Hike & Fly adventures.

Certified to EN and LTF standards, this ultralight protection system—weighing just 240 g—stands out for its effectiveness and practicality.

It comes with the Infbag inflation bag, which facilitates inflation and also serves as a compression bag for storing and transporting the harness.

Lightweight and Compressible:

The Apair harness weighs only 240 g, compared to 320 g for the foam harness. Its design allows for full compression, maximizing storage space. Once the protection is deflated, the harness takes up minimal space. In addition,the includedInfbag allows you to store your Arrow P inside, making it easier to store and transport.

Infbag: How do I inflate the Apair?

To inflate the Apair protective cover, our engineers recommend using the Infbag inflatable bag. To do this, start by filling the Infbag with air, close it, and connect it to the protective cover’s inflation hose, then make sure the air inlet/outlet valve is in the open position. As you squeeze the Infbag, the air inside it will fill the protective cover. One full squeeze of the Infbag is sufficient. Finally, press firmly on the valve until it is completely closed to keep the air inside the protective cover.

In this video tutorial, you can see the step-by-step procedure. If you prefer, you can also inflate it with an electric inflator or manually, using the same air intake tube.

Adjust the air pressure in flight using
the air inlet/outlet valve

The air inlet/outlet valve on the Apair’s tube is accessible in flight, allowing you to adjust the pressure as needed. Simply open or close the valve to maintain or release air. This feature allows you to adjust the inflation to account for pressure changes due to altitude, ensuring a safer and more comfortable flight.

Inflation: Use moderate pressure

To ensure the Apair protection works properly, it is crucial to inflate it toa moderate level. An overinflated airbag will become stiff and lift the pilot into an uncomfortable flying position. Conversely, if underinflated, the airbag will be less effective and perform poorly.

When moderately inflated, the Apair offers a flying experience similar in quality to that of a foam airbag, as both protection systems have the same shape.
