awagnon 0 #1 July 17, 2010 I tried a search and couldn't find the answer to this question. I have a demo chute coming, which is on risers but you have to attach your own D-bag and pilot chute. The swap looks straight forward and I feel comfortable doing it myself. Is this a "modification" that requires a rigger, or can this be done by the anyone? Thanks.Alton "Luck favors the prepared."

voilsb 1 #2 July 17, 2010 The D-Bag is part of the container, not the parachute. Based on that, I would assume it is not a modification of the main parachute. I just did this exact swap today.Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablopilot 2 #5 July 18, 2010 Of course by a certain reading of the newly modified/clarified FAR 65.111 that is something that requires a rigger of an less than clear rating. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

Its pretty clear (to me) that without a ticket, or a rigger watching, its against the rules. But, lets not go back into this discussion for the umpteenth time on here this month.

DSE 3 #7 July 18, 2010 Alton, if you're demoing one of the Pulse canopies brought by Ward/Mirage, he's there (along with Jack, Fish, Phil, Brian...all can watch/oversee it for you. I'd bet Ward or Jack would want to do it for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll get Jack or one of the others to do it or at least walk me through it. I don't want to violate an FAR. I'm trying to decide between a smaller Silhouette or a Pulse.Alton "Luck favors the prepared." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
