Fly System

Rigging Control Panel

Before using the rigging system ensure you have been appropriately trained.

The winch based fly system on stage moves the three lighting battens vertically.
As a reference consult these procedures.

  1. Ensure you have a full view of the pipe you are moving from side to side and the entire up and down distance it will travel
  2. Set pieces, orchestra shells, curtains, etc. will all block site lines from the console. In these cases enlist someone else to be additional eyes to ensure the pipeoves safely
  3. Do Not move a batten you or dedicated eyes can not see
  4. Always call out loudly what you are moving so everyone in the area can be aware
