skydiverek 60 #2 April 5, 2011 Depending on the manufacturer. PD says 40 repacks, and then you have to send it to PD for recertification. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until it fails inspection And yes, PD does make you send it in to get a good factory once over after 40."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerpaul 1 #4 April 5, 2011 QuoteIs their a limit on how many times a reserve can be repacked. Adding some detail - PD says 40 repacks, or 25 DEPLOYMENTS. Aerodyne calls for testing after 20 repacks or 10 uses. Exactly what they mean by 20 repacks is a bit unclear to me. The manual says, "After 20 repacks (based on 6 month repack cycle)." Does that mean 20 repacks or 10 years or either/both or whichever comes first? They also call for testing after immersion in water, or "After any use in abnormal conditions."

If so, it would have been clearer to say "20 repacks, 10 uses, 10 years, after immersion, after any unusual use". Does that cover it? Is there something wrong with that statement? I have written to them about, but nothing has changed, even though Dominic from Aerodyne replied and said the manual would be fixed. The current instructions are just not clear, and should be fixed to be clear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
