Applicability*9

This AD applies to MARS A.S. ATL-88/90-1B (commercially known as ATL-15 SL) emergency parachutes that meet either of the criterion in paragraph (c)(1) or (2) of this AD: (1) The parachute has a date of manufacture of January 1, 2016, or later; or (2) The date of manufacture 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

This AD replaces AD 2022-05-09, Amendment 39-21960 (87 FR 10712, February 25, 2022).
