Major/Minor Alterations

Recommended Posts

What is the difference? Cany anyone give an example of a minor alteration that a Senior Rigger can perform? I assume major would be taking the harness off and putting it back on or something to that effect. Or patching a load bearing rib/seam?

There's no such thing as a "minor" alteration. Any alteration at all must be performed by a master rigger or the manufacturer.

Minor repairs can be performed by a senior rigger, which basically means fixing wear and restoring equipment to its original condition -- replacing BOCs, things like that. Senior riggers can also patch non-certificated canopies with impunity.

Major repairs could affect the airworthiness of the equipment. That includes any work on the reserve system and the harness.
