AD 2022-05-09 Airworthiness Directives; MARS A.S. Parachutes
Applicability*9
This AD applies to MARS A.S. ATL-88/90-1B (commercially known as ATL-15 SL) emergency parachutes with an extension of static line made of Microline cord and that meet any of the criterion in paragraph (c)(1), (2), or (3) of this AD: (1) The parachute has a date of manufacture between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, inclusive; (2) The parachute has a serial number (S/N) 2145001 through S/N 2145005 inclusive, and S/N 2145023 through S/N 2145034 inclusive; or (3) The date of manufacture or the S/N of the parachute is unknown.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
As of the effective date of this AD, remove each emergency parachute from service.
Unsafe condition
This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as the length of the ripcord between the pins being too long, which could cause a malfunction of the emergency parachute. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of the emergency parachute to deploy when needed.
Affected ADs
None.
