RIGGER

Hi The tapes were cut with a hot knife - you can see it. Does the hot knife cut work was made as should ? hard to tell. I wonder what will be the Mfg. answer on that. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Hi During inspection of a main canopy I found a well torn line attachment tape which holds an upper steering line but it could be at any line attachment. A report was sent to the Mfg. Tip: inspect the main canopy as well & look at the attachment tapes when packing the main - easy to see. Please look at the photo. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Hi This is NOT the first time it happened - DO NOT use it at all !!! I never used that needle for that but I have a finger trap wire tool made from very thin (small diameter piano wire) into a wood handle. Works great. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Hi Drogue release at about 2000' was the main reason for that fatality. The main question is WHY going so low & if a TI reach that point from any reason -THE RESERVE RIPCORD must be PULLED ! Thanks
