Hi all, we have another skydiver with use of only one arm here in germany. did his AFF. He lost his right arm above the elbow, and jumped with or without a prosthetic. Using one hand for both toggels works well for him. Also a cutaway was no problem at all. His Rig had to be changed to "lefthand" boc ... regards Holger

from http://www.swissskydive.org/cms/upload/Material/Manufacturers_guidelines_2010.pdf Interesting! But I wonder about the accuracy of those recommendations. (Are they mandatory in Switzerland?) After all, it shows a lot of US reserves (& rigs) as requiring repacks every 120 days. Which it might say in an old manual, or of a company that no longer exists. But in 100% of the cases, when the FAA went to a 180 day repack cycle, all the companies followed. And even the FAA wouldn't prohibit someone from repacking a discontinued company's reserve at a 180 day cycle. That document just parrots what's on paper without looking at what is considered legal practice. The only Tempo manual I can find online is a grainy scan of a fax. Hard to tell, but I don't see any 20 year limit in it. Hey, if there are countries selling 20 year old reserves cheap, I'm interested! ... the best about this is - it's the German document, they use ... thanx to all, Holger

Hey Jurgen, thanks for your answer. No problem with the german rules but what about the french or swiss ;-) I'll change the question to point out my background better ... Who / which company does give tech support for the PISA (tempo) things? regards Holger

Dear all of you ;-) does anyone of you have a document from PISA / Zodiac SA / ... telling me the lifetime for an tempo reserve? Anyone told me there is an 3 year old document which tells 20 Years. ??? regards Holger
