There is no 20 year life cycle for pilot or skydivers parachutes -there's none!, The life limit from the manufacturer is the first 120 days, after that the Parachute Rigger that repacks the parachute is responsible for the next 120 day life, in other words it is up to the Parachute Rigger (just like your annual inspection by your A&P mechanic for your aircraft), to inspect, test if necessary, and re-certify airworthy and pack or don't pack. NO WHERE is there anything in writing, any studies, manufacture's instructions or FAA Regulations for any emergency parachute life cycle (except for one...the GQ Security parachutes manufactured in Great Brittan, it states in their manual a service life of 15 years for the canopy and harness) I inspect every pilot parachute that comes into my parachute loft, those that don't pass you never see, the ones that make it are advertised here & have gone through my tough inspection and will last many years if taken care of. My name is Don Mayer, Master Parachute Rigger, FAA Designated Parachute Rigger Examiner, 36 years experience, owner of the Parachute Shop. 1-800-872-2488 |
