The PASSENGER - Professional tandem harness
Developed in close cooperation with professional tandem pilots, The AIR VUISA
Passenger along with the SKIPPER is the ultimate professional tandem pilot’s duo
- specially designed to accommodate the demanding requests of tandem pilots.
After various prototypes, testing and feedback from professional tandem pilots
worldwide, we were able to produce a practical, simple, light and durable but also
comfortable and safe harness for the passenger.

Some highlights of the AIRVUISA Passenger harness:
•Easy strap in buckles;
•Easy for the passenger to get into and sit in, without the help of the pilot
thanks to the combination of well solved get-in straps, balanced center of
gravity and special handles for the passenger to pull himself into the
harness and hold on to, helping the pilot to concentrate on the flight –
especially in the critical takeoff phase;
•Excellent foam back protection, shaped to adapt to the pilot harness;
•Lightness, thanks to the combination of durable, yet light materials.

Harness Setup and Assembly
Seatboard and Protector Removal and Installation
Pictures 1-3 demonstrate seatboard and back-protector removal and installation.
Seatboard and protector are easily accessible – when lifting the back end of the
seat you will find the ends of the leg straps holding the board. The back protector
is easily removable by opening the harness as shown in the pictures below:

Harness adjustment
In order to ensure optimal comfort and safety – it is important to do a test-stand
to properly adjust the harness before the first flight. You are able to adjust the
seating angle, shoulder straps, chest-strap width and the small shoulder buckle.

Tighten the strap by pulling the plastic loop located on the end of the stap (35,37)
– realease them by pulling the red webbing loop (36,38).

13 | Page
Buckling into the harness is ensured by 2 point lock-up as demonstrated on
pictures 40 and 41 – which secures both the legs and chest with straps at the
same time, ensuring optimal safety. Lastly – we lock the small click-buckle located
on the chest for additional comfort and to prevent shoulder straps slipping off.
