Geoff 0 #1 October 26, 2001 The formatting has gone a bit astray - see the original athttp://www.icaruscanopies.com/service_bulletin.htmGeoffProduct Service Bulletin#20011025Date of Notice: October 25, 2001Effective: ImmediatelyApplicability: Serial Numbers AttachedRequirement: Line-trim adjustmentCompliance: MandatoryCompliance Date: November 30, 2001Note: This Service Bulletin supersedes Safety Bulletins #20010914 �.Background:Safety bulletin #20010914 was released on 14 September 2001 following theidentification of some Crossfire's that experienced buffeting and/orinstability while using front riser control inputs. Users were advised torefrain from performing front riser control inputs below 1000ft AGL.Safety Bulletin #20011004 was released on October 04 expanding on ourknowledge of the situation resulting from testing to that date. Additionallya further warning was issued to Crossfire users requesting that those userswith limited experience, who may not possess the necessary knowledge todetermine whether or not their canopy may be affected, should refrain fromusing their canopy pending the conclusion of our testing.Resulting from subsequent testing we have been able to stabilize allaffected Crossfire's by performing a minor line-trim modification to thecanopy. Further action may be taken at a later date however we feel itprudent to act quickly and decisively to stabilize any canopies which may beaffected and to allow Crossfire users to return to flying their canopywithout flight restrictions.Required Action:(Annex 1) Canopies with serial numbers attached as annex 1 require line trimmodification specification #CF0110. This modification must be performedbefore 30 November 2001.Upon completion of the line trim modification the canopy warning label mustbe placarded by the rigger who performed the modification by using apermanent marker & writing on the warning label as follows:COMPLIES WITH SERVICE BULLETIN #20011025; MM/DD/YY; NAME; SIGNATURE; RIGGERCERTIFICATE NUMBER.Note: Canopies remain subject to the flight restrictions as stated inbulletin #20010914 and #20011004 until such time as this modification isperformed. Upon completion of the modification these canopies are no longersubject to any flight restrictions. It is recommended that thesemodifications are performed immediately. Canopies not modified before 30November 2001 will be considered grounded at that stage.Canopies with serial numbers not listed on Annex 1 or Annex 2 are notsubject to this bulletin.(Annex 2) Canopies with serial numbers attached as annex 2 requiremodification to trim specification #CF0102 before 30 November 2001. Note:Canopies in annex 2 that have been re-lined or re-trimmed since 01 February2001 will have been fitted with trim specification #CF0102 at that time andwill not require any further trim modification. Contact Icarus Canopies fordetails and to confirm whether your canopy requires this trim update.Note: It is not necessary to Placard these canopies.Performing the Trim Modification:Icarus Canopies will perform the trim modification at no charge should youwish to return your canopy to our facility.

Jimbo 0 #3 October 26, 2001 QuoteRequired Action:(Annex 1) Canopies with serial numbers attached as annex 1 require line trimmodification specification #CF0110. This modification must be performedbefore 30 November 2001.Upon completion of the line trim modification the canopy warning label mustbe placarded by the rigger who performed the modification by using apermanent marker & writing on the warning label as follows:COMPLIES WITH SERVICE BULLETIN #20011025; MM/DD/YY; NAME; SIGNATURE; RIGGERCERTIFICATE NUMBER.I think a line trim modification can usually be performed by a local rigger. It sounds in this case like Icarus is expecting the local riggers to play a big part in making these canopies airworthy again.-Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
