AviationTD 0 #1 May 12, 2015 Can anyone confirm that these Sky containers are certified by FAA TSO? http://skyblue.co.rs/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #2 May 12, 2015 It doesn't look like it. Their website only says it was tested to TSO-C23d standards and they link to a Serbian type certificate. The FAA TSO database doesn't list anything. The FAA doesn't recognize foreign TSOs on parachutes, so their Serbian certification wouldn't count for anything in the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,364 #4 May 12, 2015 Hi indyz, QuoteThe FAA doesn't recognize foreign TSOs on parachutes If it were an actual FAA TSO-authorization they would. I'm not really sure what you mean by 'foreign TSOs.' Foreign companies can obtain US FAA TSO-authorization(s) depending upon what country they are headquartered in.

indyz 1 #5 May 13, 2015 I meant foreign TSOs like ETSO or JTSO, not an FAA TSO issued to a foreign manufacturer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckMartin 0 #6 May 13, 2015 They are not TSO'ed. I am a dealer for them. It's confusing because they talk about FAA TSO a few times on their website like..."We chose the American testing program TSO-С23d, which is one of the strictest programs for flight trials." But they mean they just tested it like it was but they never actually got it TSO'ed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just out of curiosity (and knowing nothing about them, can't get to their website from here)... if you're in the US and they're not US-TSO'ed... why are you a dealer for them?Always remember that some clouds are harder than others...

ChuckMartin 0 #9 May 14, 2015 It's the vector logo thing. 8-9 week build time is a lot better then 40+.Haha. They make a BASE rig also. Picked up the dealership for that and it just came with everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
