  • Airworthiness Directives; MarS A.S. Parachutes

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 2 08:07:34 2022
    ACTION:

    Final rule; request for comments.

    SUMMARY:

    The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-07-05, which applied to certain MarS A.S. emergency parachutes. AD 2022-07-05 superseded AD 2022-05-09, expanded the applicability, and required removing all emergency parachutes manufactured since
    2016. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-07-05, MarS A.S. developed a modification for the emergency parachutes to correct the unsafe condition. This AD requires modifying and re-identifying the emergency parachutes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the
    unsafe condition on these products.

    DATES:

    This AD is effective December 19, 2022.

    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 19, 2022.

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by January 17, 2023.

    The AD is posted here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/12/02/2022-26206/airworthiness-directives-mars-as-parachutes
