erdnarob 1 #70 November 26, 2010 Who said you cannot get a maintenance with a Vigil ???? I have sent back my Vigil for maintenance and possible up date but unlike other AAD's competitors I took the decision to do it at a time and after a use suitable for me, just like a car. And doing so, Vigil people printed on paper a list including details of what they have checked or replaced (unlike one major competitor) Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.

It is interesting how when a new jumper finds this website, they feel the need to prove how little they know and make sure everyone else realizes it. After a while said noob posts less and eventually learns they have so much more to learn. But for that short period, we cardiac patients get to laugh at the over testosteroned know-it alls.

NovaTTT 2 #72 November 26, 2010 QuoteQuote i'm practicing for my riggers ticket.... From what you've posted so far, you seem to be without regular jumper-rigger communication so I'm wondering, how are you "practicing for (your) riggers (sic) ticket"? QuoteQuoteif its my gear i can do whatever i want, i doubt the cops will come over and arrest me for tinkering with something i own Is "tinkering" what you are consider to be "practicing"? The police won't give a damn what you do with your own stuff as long as you don't file a fraudulent report/insurance claim thereafter for whatever happens to it. Alternatively, however, the DZO, pilot and/or FAA might be interested if you show up with an illegal rig. In that case, more than likely, you'll only be inconvenienced; if there is an incident or problem, however, you might not find such a warm welcome. My advice? Don't "tinker" with your gear; do you really want to be screwing around with your lifesaving gear? Ask your rigger to show you everything and he might just do so. Since you're going to have the Cypres installed the time is right. While you're at it, have your rigger note the serial #s of the two Vigils and contact AAD about the Not Working problems you claim to have had. AAD would probably like to get the word out if there is a known issue with their device."Even in a world where perfection is unattainable, there's still a difference between excellence and mediocrity."

labrys 0 #74 November 26, 2010 No one said you can't get maintenance on the Vigil. The point of discussion was that scheduled maintenance is required for the CYPRES but not the Vigil.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NovaTTT 2 #75 November 26, 2010 QuoteQuotepack and unpacking my reserve Quick aside: Pete, you should try to put more effort into your posts, in terms of content. A few thorough posts are much more useful, meaningful and informative than many (many!) brief, obfuscatory ones. Direct: OK. Are you doing so with any sort of supervision or training, be it formal or informal? Airing, inspecting and packing reserves is just a portion of what is rigging. It's a very important part, of course, and there are many tips, tricks and techniques to correctly and properly AIRing reserves. At best you will re-invent the wheel if you're self-teaching. At the least you will teach yourself poor, improper and/or wrong techniques that you will have to unlearn and correct if you pursue a senior rating. Talk to your local rigger. Soon. And while I have your attention, I have a real and serious interest in the Vigil failures you have mentioned. PM me the details of those failures if you're not willing to post them publicly."Even in a world where perfection is unattainable, there's still a difference between excellence and mediocrity."
