BIGUN 1,321 #76 February 11, 2005 QuoteSo, Mr. Rigger, is it true that on March 10th of this year, you did not implement a manufacturer-mandated repair to my client's rig, the lack of which led to his death? What if we gave riggers a signed notarized waiver (assumption of risk) stating that we were informed of the SB and chose not to have it done? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same thing for aircraft. "Yes, the deceased, Mr. X, was aware of the SB and did not want to have it done to his aircraft. Since the FAA does not require it to be done, I returned the aircraft to service in accordance with the FAR's" Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While that may save him from suits (IANAL), the rigger can still have his ticket revoked or other penalty from the FAA. Derek, aren't riggers required to follow equipment manufactures guidelines? Pack the reserve flaps in the order the manufacture states, ensure a cypres follows maintenance/battery cycles, etc? I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
