ericfradet 0 #2 December 26, 2006 This safety note is made to spread out the word about the "Argus cutter with insert" change, but more important to remind people that at this day : Argus is not authorized inside Dual Hawk Tandem System from Strong, any rig from Rigging Innovation, any rig from Parachutes de France, any rig from Basik Air concept. Means, at this day in France skydivers owning Argus device in such rigs is not able to jump in France. We will need a written paper from Harness/container manufacturer saying he changes his mind, to modify this situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 0 #3 December 27, 2006 QuoteArgus is not authorized Do you mean that in France, if a manufacturer doesn't explicitly say it is authorized, it is not? Here in the Netherlands, it's the other way round: if not explicitly not-authorized, it is. (Eh, does that make sense? ). ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 136 #4 December 27, 2006 from PdF : Quotel'Argus n'est toujours pas autorisé sur les produits PdF car nous n'avons toujours pas rencontré le fabriquant which does not mean that the situation is definitive. For me, most restrictive rule applies, wether from manufacturer, country regulations etc.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericfradet 0 #5 December 27, 2006 in fact, it is only when the H/C manufacturer makes a written statement against such AAD that this one becomes non authorized. Despite the attitude when the H/C manufacturer says silent, is going against AC 105-2C who defines the TSO by saying that the installation of such a device must be approved by the parachute manufacturer or the FAA. Even if there is no written test specification how to approve the AAD to the container. That should be worked out by an international working group as soon as possible.
