Kimblair13 0 #1 March 24, 2010 If anyone knows the answer to these that would be great... in Germany pack jobs are good for 1 year, in the US 6 months. If a US FAA rigger is packing in Germany, is their packjob good for 6 months or one year (in Germany)? If a sport jumper comes to Germany with a rig that was packed in the US, is their packjob good for one year or 6 months? If a rig was packed by a German rigger in germany then taken to the states is the packjob good for 6 months or one year? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #2 March 24, 2010 Quotein Germany pack jobs are good for the maximum period of each component (rig and reserve, which ever is the shortest) given by the manufacturer, which in most case is 1 year, in the US 6 months. corrected for you. there are still a couple of 120 and 180 days rigs and reserves document for skydiving gear document for safety/rescue rigs By the way, are Jumpshack rigs still 120 days in the US, or are they 180 days ?scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark 107 #3 March 24, 2010 QuoteIf a rig was packed by a German rigger in Germany then taken to the States is the pack job good for 6 months or one year? It depends. If the rig is used by a US citizen or permanent resident, it must have been packed by an FAA rigger within the previous 180 days. If the rig is US TSO'd (Vector + PD reserve, for example), it must have been packed by an FAA rigger within the previous 180 days. If the rig has either a reserve or harness/container that is not US TSO'd, then it may be jumped by a visitor if it is his own rig and if it is legal to use in his home country and if it is packed according to the rules of his home country. BTW, as a US rigger, I have no idea if any of my pack jobs will be good for 180 days. After I deliver a rig to a customer, it is really up to him or her to determine if the equipment is airworthy or if it needs to be returned for service.
