SPECIAL AIRWORTHINESS
INFORMATION BULLETIN SUBJ: Equipment/Furnishings - Reserve Parachute Harness SAIB: NE-08-29R1 Date: June 26, 2008 This is information only. Recommendations aren’t mandatory.
Background This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) cancels SAIB NE-08-29, dated June 16, 2008. SAIB NE-08-29 alerts owners, operators, and riggers of reserve parachute harness containers equipped with a VIGIL automatic activation device manufactured by AAD nv/sa Advanced Aerospace Designs, of an airworthiness directive (AD) issued by the Direction General de l’Aviation Civile (DGAC). However, we are cancelling SAIB NE-08-29 due to the receipt of new information and because the French Direction General de l’Aviation Civile (DGAC) is not the State of Design for the VIGIL automatic activation device. The Service public fédéral Mobilité et Transports, the aviation authority for Belgium, is the State of Design for the VIGIL device and has not issued an equivalent airworthiness directive (AD) to DGAC AD F-2008-007, dated June 4, 2008.
