If it's someone else's packjob, pull up a chair, you're getting a full inspect & repack."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halfpastniner 0 #3 March 1, 2012 Is it the same rigger who last packed you rig? If so it shouldn't take long, he can install the AAD and reclose the rig. If it is a different rigger, you are going to probably be on the hook for an I+R of the system, because he isn't going to put his seal on someone elses packjob. (hopefully) That will take much longer. My suggestion would be to call your rigger and ask him how long it would take. He would know better than us.BASE 1384 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's actually been published that we're not allowed to do that anyways. only the rigger that packed it can open and re-seal it without an I&R."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #5 March 1, 2012 The actual job of installing may be 5 minutes, to do things like poking the control head and cutter through various sleeves and work out an appropriate coiling of the remaining cable once everything is in place. But also add on time time to check bulletins (in some cases), write the AAD data (& maybe cutter data) on the reserve card, & log the same data into his rigging logbook. Depending on how tight the rig is and the cutter placement on the rig, the closing loop might have to be lengthened or a new longer one put in. And as everyone has pointed out, there may be the whole opening up of the rig & repack to do too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J0nathan 0 #6 March 1, 2012 well i am actually talking about a new rig and a new AAD (0 jumps on rig ). i was thinking to buy the gear in one place and the AAD another and then let a rigger install the AAD into the new gear. will they still have to do a repack even though the rig is brand new ?

pchapman 279 #7 March 1, 2012 Yeah if the rig is packed up, if it isn't the same rigger installing the AAD, you need a full repack according to the FAA. Doesn't matter if the pack job was done yesterday. The rigger is responsible for everything in the pack job, and he can only certify it good to use, if he inspects and repacks it. (The rule can be argued, and I'm not in favor. But the rule exists, and isn't just some silly rule from a voluntary sporting organization like the USPA, it's from the FAA.) Edit: Sorry, what with others talking about rules in the USA, I continued on that tack & didn't think to check the O.P.'s location. (As the next poster pointed out, the O.P. isn't in the US.)

Hellis 0 #8 March 1, 2012 But then again he is in Spain. They might have other rules. OP But how about you supply us with some info instead? Where are you buying it from? Is it a dealer in Spain? If not, the packjob that you get might not be legal to jump in Spain anyway. I believe you will get much better, more accurate answers by asking you local jumpers, riggers, or dealers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rig is going to need an assembly and initial reserve pack. If you wait until you have all the components together, then it can all happen at once. You can have the person (or shop) getting you the rig wait until the AAD shows up before they assemble and pack it. As was suggested, check with your local rigger for the most accurate info."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
