What was found

THE AIRCRAFT CAME INTO OUR FACILITY FOR AN ANNUAL INSPECTION. WHILE PERFORMING THE INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE PARACHUTE LANYARD CABLES THAT CONNECT THE ROCKET PICK-UP COLLAR TO THE PARACHUTE WERE MISROUTED. THIS WAS MOST LIKELY DONE WHEN ACCOMPLISHING CAPS SYSTEM MAINTENANCE. IT IS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN SINCE CABLE MISROUTING WOULD MOST LIKELY RENDER THE PARACHUTE INEFFECTIVE. THE CABLES WERE REROUTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CIRRUS AIRFRAME PARACHUTE SYSTEM COMPONENT MANUAL.
