Description
The ICARUS Reserve is a 7-cell canopy with made of low porosity fabric and Spectra lines for reduced pack volume. Sizes are available from 109 to 279 sq. ft (no custom sizes). The ICARUS Reserve is only available in WHITE.
The ICARUS Reserve is designed and constructed
as a low aspect ratio, 7-cell parachute with a square planform for stability during opening, flight and landing, exhibiting predictable behavior throughout its entire flight.
To ensure a solid parachute able to withstand all
conditions required by the Aerospace Standard
AS8015B, the FAA TSO-C23d and the EASA ETSOC23d,
the ICARUS Reserve uses extra reinforcement where needed (chordwise, spanwise, throughout the nose, and at all line attachment points).
The ICARUS Reserve canopy features a low pack volume as compared to other reserve parachutes, thanks to the use of 0-3 CFM low permeability, high quality ripstop fabric (SASPA T-34, PIA C-44378C Type IV), together with its unique reinforced construction. However, exact pack
volume can be affected by many things including environmental factors, packing technique, and
even the number of pack jobs on the canopy.

The suspension lines are 725lb Spectra, with the lower steering lines made of 1000lb Spectra. Line
attachment points are secured with double bartacks for higher strength. ICARUS Reserve Spectra lines are coated to assure better protection during packing, opening and after landing, better resisting damage from bushes, sand, Velcro hook, etc….
The ICARUS Reserve slider includes an opening in the center and extra reinforcement to ensure
fast and reliable openings.
The ICARUS Reserve is manufactured under the highest Quality Control standards. All materials
are thoroughly inspected and tested according to military (MIL SPECS) standards. The manufacturing process is strictly controlled under ISO 9001:2000, NATO AQAP 2120,
EN9100:2003 for Aerospace Quality Standard, EASA Part 21A.G.
Selecting the appropriate ICARUS Reserve canopy
To select the appropriate ICARUS Reserve size for a jumper, several factors must be taken into
consideration. Some of these factors are legal limits and must be respected.
To select the appropriate ICARUS Reserve size, it must be considered the jumper’s MAXIMUM
EXIT WEIGHT. Make sure that the jumper’s MAXIMUM EXIT WEIGHT complies with the certified
one for each ICARUS Reserve canopy size, in accordance with FAA TSO C23(d) and EASA ETSO
C23d requirements.
The MAXIMUM EXIT WEIGHT for a reserve canopy size is a legal limit. This parachute was tested
under US FAA TSO C23(d) and EASA ETSO C23d to maximum exit weights of 255 lbs(116kg). It is
forbidden to use any ICARUS Reserve parachute with an exit weight exceeding the MAXIMUM
EXIT WEIGHT for which each canopy is certified for.
The MAXIMUM EXIT WEIGHT is detailed on the warning label sewn on each ICARUS Reserve, in
the ICARUS Reserve manual and in all product documentation that can be found in the ICARUS
Canopies website (www.icaruscanopies.aero).
Other suggested factors to be taken into consideration are the jumper’s level of experience. Level of
experience may vary from person to person and depends also on number of jumps, type of jumps,
basic and additional training and jumper’s skills.
Drop Zone physical placement (elevation, winds, weather, ground conditions, etc…) should also be
considered. All these factors influence the performance of any given main and reserve canopy.
We recommend to select the ICARUS Reserve canopy size as similar as possible to the main
canopy for safety considerations.
