Parachutes de France Mayday 7

Recommended Posts

I see a couple of reports of one stolen, and some non English lists including it (one from Austria) but nothing else.

Lots about round paraglider emergency parachtues called Mayday.

Good luck.

BTW I sincerely doubt that it is TSO'd and legal to jump in the U.S.

7 cell, 156 ft sq, 80 kg max ("recommended" I suppose) - briefly mentioned in Poynters II

I only have a couple pages from the manual, which shows an odd and intricate flat pack method, perhaps from before propacking reserves had really caught on. I'd ignore those old instructions anyway.

Unlikely to be TSO'd.

Thank you all.

it is not TSOd, so not legal to jump as a reserve in the US, unless you are European :)



But not if you put it in a TSO'd container.;) And not unless you find a rigger that knows, can follow and wants to follow your home countries "civil aviation authority requirements".

It's 156 sqft, it's the previous version of the current Techno 155. It's a VERY good reserve esp for an older model; it can be loaded over 1/1 safely. I had one, although I have most of my reserve jumps on a Transfair which is the 128 sqft version of the Mayday, I loaded that one at 1.2-1.4 no problem. Landed better than the PD126 I jumped a whole day as a main. The French do make very good reserves :)
