    The Parachutes Australia Manual http://www.parachutesaustralia.com/s2/imgs/prods/airfrc_rsrv/airforce_manual.pdf The Airforce Reserve Parachute has a service life of 20 years from the Date of Manufacture stamped on the Parachute Canopy (whether used or in storage), due to the natural degradation of the textiles used for its manufacture. http://www.parachutesaustralia.com/s2/SB/PASB9502.pdf At each periodic inspection the Packer/Riggers must check the age and condition of the equipment. Those components that have a finite service life shall be permanently withdrawn from service when they reach their service life, or earlier if deemed un-airworthy.

    seems weird on the used canopies. Maybe that perspective was changed Pulse sizes 190, 210, 230, and 260 with serial numbers between 000001 and 001378, Date of Manufacture prior to 16 July 2012.

    A Cypres and wearing no helmet Below is what is written in Sports Parachutist Feb 1993, Tom Piras was killed as a result of a freefall collision in Panama on December 13th last year. He was coaching a group of intermediate skydivers in 4-way FS. The video of the jump showed that there was a funnel on exit at 12,500ft and one of the jumpers ended up low beneath Piras. His pilot chute at this point came out of its pouch and Tom Piras was flipped by the deploying canopy; his head contacted the Panamanian’s knee and he was knocked unconscious. The cameraman gave chase but eventually had to abandon the attempt. Piras had been falling in a head-down attitude; he did recover consciousness enough to turn over and start to pull his reserve handle but he was by now too low. Ironically he was wearing a Cypres AAD but had not switched it on at the start of the days jumping

    There all fine, you may want to select based on how long your prepared to wait. Serious consider a second hand main Pricing difference sometimes relates to options.

    Here are the APF rules on the matter 7.1.6 AAD and RSL Requirements Safety (a) All freefall descents made by a parachutist who hold up to and including a Certificate Class C must be made with equipment fitted with an operational AAD. (b) All freefall descents made by parachutists who hold a Certificate Class D must be made with equipment fitted with either: (i) A functional RSL; or (ii) An operational AAD. (c) The DZSO may authorise in writing an exception to this regulation for specified descents. I have one in most of my rigs, I have recently acquired a new CRW rig without one and Im really leaning to installing one, for that very odd occasion it may come in useful

    Is that aussie rules or US rules? About RSL, look up stevens lanyard in poynters. It connects your main with your belly reserv APF 7.1.6 AAD and RSL Requirements Safety (a) All freefall descents made by a parachutist who hold up to and including a Certificate Class C must be made with equipment fitted with an operational AAD.

    Nice work brels are great at the club as you only need to cover the coach slot. Keep your eyes peeled for a canopy course first hop and pop seems low but you will grow to love them. Hopefully we will have night jumps at some point later this year.
