Service Inquiry - RAF Parachute instructor at RAF Weston on the Green.

DSA/SI/04/21/WOTG

Safety Recommendation: SR-DSA/SI/04/21/WOTG

  • Coordinate with the Federal Aviation Authority to request an update to Technical Standard 135 by the Parachute Industries Association, in order to ensure clarity of the requirements of the standard.
  • Coordinate with the Federal Aviation Authority to either, request an update to the Federal Aviation Authority Technical Standard Order C23f, or consider the issue of a UK Technical Standard Order Authorisation (UKTSOA) to require parachute assembly manufacturers to provide evidence of gap analysis of safety critical parachuting equipment manufactured under obsolete standards.

FAA have now taken safety intervention action and are directly speaking to the DSA
