Basik Air concept Seven

Hi!

I'm thinking about buying a Seven container...I know there isn't much of them here in Quebec...My question is: Can any rigger pack a reserve in any kind of container???

thanks!

CSPA riggers can almost any reserve into almost any container, provided they are compatible (e.g. similar volume) and approved in their country of origin.

American riggers are constrained by Federal Air Regulations that only allow them to pack certified (Technical Standard Order) reserve canopies into TSOed containers. Whether European JTSO still cover skydiving equipment is a grey area.
Remember that European JTSO, Australian TSO, South African TSO, etc. are usually photo-copies of American TSOs.

On a practical note, I have only packed one Advance container and I got it closed on the second try. For the most part, Advance containers require the same skills as Javelins, albeit with fewer flaps.

Hi F.

Good choice of container ...

If anyone wants to see these containers for themselves then Basik will be at the Skydive Expo next week in Deland ...

So feel free to drop by and have a look for yourself and bring your rigger

I have just packed a 150 smart into a Seven # 3, wich is the same size as a Javelin J1k. Fits great
cheers

The Seven has both TSO and JTSO homologation.
