bofh 0 #26 January 12, 2012 Quote For instance, a plausible failure mode would be the AAD pressure sensor reporting an incorrect altitude value, in which case the AAD might both record and fire at what it believes to be the correct altitude, regardless of the actual altitude at the time. The failure might be transient, and not reproducible in a chamber after the fact. How might one even conclusively detect such a failure (without an independent secondary sensor or some other recording mechanism), or be certain it did not occur? I think the log would show that the skydiver stopped falling at a higher altitude than the ground in that case or that the skydiver kept falling/flying below the ground.

dpreguy 14 #27 January 13, 2012 Although this is not on the topic of AAD Investigation, but also a 'what to do after....'. I remember a very good article, published as a USPA document by Howard White, on suggestions for what to do following a fatality. I haven't looked at it for a long time. It was a very good guide, and coveed the players: media, police, etc I'll see if I can find it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
