    13. PARACHUTE EQUIPMENT RULES.

    d. AAD Installation. The FAA approves the installation (addition of pockets, channels,
    guides, etc., required for the AAD to be assembled in the parachute container) of each
    make/model AAD as part of the paperwork that is submitted by the parachute manufacturer
    during the TSO approval. Complete installation in consultation with, and with the approval of,
    the AAD manufacturer.
    The retrofit installation, or installation of a make or model AAD other
    than those specifically approved for a particular TSO or Military Specifications
    (MIL-SPEC)-approved parachute, constitutes an alteration to that parachute (see paragraph 16).


    14. PARACHUTE PACKING.
    a. Reserve Parachutes.

    (4) AADs must be maintained in accordance with the AAD manufacturer’s instructions
    and service requirements.
    Since when a rigger packs a reserve parachute the rigger is only
    certifying that it meets all safety requirements on the day it is packed, riggers should note any
    maintenance or battery replacement due date(s) on the packing data card so that users are able to
    determine AAD airworthiness and ensure conformance to the regulations. (See §§ 105.43(c) and
    105.45(b)(3).) AADs are to be installed as per the parachute manufacturer’s instructions.(5) Only the rigger who did the packing, and whose seal is removed to permit scheduled
    or unscheduled maintenance or repairs to the reserve container, may open, re-close, and re-seal it
    (for example, AAD service or closing loop adjustment) within the 180-day or 60-day period in
    subparagraph 14a(3).

    We will have our own disc in the future but we have no objection that you use the Cypres disc.
    There is also no influence of it to the used AAD and is completely independent of it.

    We stay at your entire disposal for any further information you may require

    Like mentioned in our manual (page 9) we have also no objection to use Dyneema, Spectra or Cypres loops.

    Best regards

    In practice, you must be aware that the Vigil® always acts based on a measured air pressure and time.
    Those 2 parameters permit the calculation of the exact altitude, in function of the registered air
    pressure, as well as the vertical speed related to a pressure variation in a certain period of time.
    For information: The Vigil® is able to register pressure differences of 0, 1 hPa which is equivalent to
    an altitude difference of only ± 2,6 feet (or 0,8 meter)!
    Important remark: The sensor registered pressure will vary, in function of the skydiver position (face
    to earth or on his back) up to 10 hPa (=mbar) equivalent to 260 ft (80m)!
    Example: Let’s consider two skydivers in free fall, at exactly the same altitude but one is falling back
    to earth and the second one is falling face to earth.
    The influence of their falling position on their respective AAD reading is as follows

    Back to earth
    Depression zone
    No influence
    Pressure sensor location
    Pressure = X hPa
    Vigil® will register a pressure of X hPa
    The stated or real altitude Y ft (or m)


    Face to earth
    AAD or pressure sensor
    located in depression zone
    Pressure = X hPa – 10 hPa
    Vigil® in depression zone will register an up to 10 hPa
    lower pressure, notwithstanding they are at the same level
    The stated altitude Y +260 ft (or +80m)


  4. Any DZ you have the opportunity to hear the nearest airport manager. Manager generally reports the temperature, pressure, humidity, and much more. After reading the information menu you have the ability to compare data. No need to have their own precision instrument for comparison.
    This is advertising?
    Specifically for you attached a picture of paragraph 3.5.5

    I'm just trying to explain to a person unknown to him the possibility of the elementary unit.

  5. Thus, on this subject is nothing you can say?
    You are once again engaged in advertising.

    It is bad that you could not understand one paragraph (3.5.5.) statement.
    Go to the topic of Cypres. Just try and not engage in advertising there. B|
    P.S. How many times you press the button to go to the menu info Vigil ?
    P.P.S. You reason that you do not know. This is silly.

    Just to be clear, the Cypres also does a self check at every start up, and will display an error code if there is a problem. It also displays the current battery voltage at the end of the self check.

    In terms of the servicing, I don't think that four years is an unreasonable time frame for an electronic instrument that spends a portion of it's time taking severe abuse (opening shock), and that literally is poised to sever your reserve closing loop in short order. To me, that seems like an area where a degree of reliability is called for, and sending a unit for a check every four years doesn't seem like overkill (keep in mind that 4 years could equal upwards of 2000 jumps for some folks).
    ...


    I agree with you that 4 years a reasonable time to verify the Cypres.
    I do not agree with your conclusions about the reasons for testing. Disagree with your reasoning on the complete test Cypres its elements.

    Cypres does not check the deviation of the parameters of the pressure sensor. This is the main reason for testing the device. This is the only "mechanical" component in the AAD.

    Is this the standard turn-around time for a Cypres service from Russia? Are you basing this a one-time experience, or is this something that happens on a regualr basis?

    None. Sometimes this period may be 4-6 months. All through a dealer network Airtek.
    At Artek only two units for maintenance. One in Germany, second in the U.S..
    Regulations required. ;)



    So, send an email to Airtec.

    Tell them the serial number of your AAD.

    Ask them when they received it, and when they shipped it back.

    Then we will know for sure if Airtec was the source of the delay.

    You might also ask them that if the service time was unusually long, what the cause was.

    Is there a chance that the extreme conditions in Russia make more work during the service?


    I long ago (2005) refused to poor maintenance Airtek. Now I use the Vigil, and I have no problems.

    I can't find any information about a BASF plant in "Mathayme". Not that this means it doesn't exist, but could you be so kind to post a little more information :P

    For CYPRES: Yes, it's more or less a manufacture, but the "toys" they produce there are of extraordinary quality. B|



    Mannheim
    In German, it will be written Mannheim.
    I see no reason for sarcasm. I think in Russian form a pair of words to write can not.

    Discussed the problem of the instruments in sealed aircraft. Want to discuss something different - create a separate topic.

    As there is no desire to hasten their lazy employees


    That's a blank lie and an insult to the folks at Aitrec. Go there, ask for a tour and have a look. You'll see everybody is working.

    I care little as they puff. The result is important. The result of the deplorable
    Two months for maintenance ustroistva consisting of a single processor? Work better or change direction (the staff).

    Nelyubin, you forgot to say that Airtec sent an employee to Thailand, who had enough Cypres 2s in a suitcase to outfit every jumper who had a Vigil for the rest of the world record, to avoid another mass reserve opening in the plane. You forgot to say that your preferred company did absolutely nothing about that problem.

    As we say in Germany, don't throw stones while sitting in a glass house.

    Discussed the problem of the instruments in sealed aircraft. Want to discuss something different - create a separate topic. Or as they say in Russia, not fucking my brain.
