A properly installed AAD should cut a closing loop. A functional AAD fires within it's advertised parameters. That was a quote from another poster (sacex250), just FYI.

IMO if you've made 50 jumps in the past 2 years (not to mention 75 total), you're asking for an injury jumping a 170 at ~1.3. Whomever told you to go to a 150 to have better landings...

A functional Cypres is supposed to cut the closing loop; that's Airtec's definition. The fact that the cutter could not have possibly cut the closing loop makes it as non-functional as my television when the cable is out. Ok then... do you call Sony up and bitch at them when the cable is out? No, because they supply the product, it's up to an independent company to hook it up... right? Exactly. Well... I don't recall the FAA saying ANYTHING about the AAD being functional for a jump. I would be in serious trouble if it was a FAR that I violated when I jump a rig with the AAD turned off! The FAA says (FAR 105.43c) it must be 'maintained in accordance with the manufacturers instructions' so... legally I am falling within the FAR so long as the Cypres gets its 4 & 8 year checks, because that is MAINTAINING it IAW the mfgr's instructions. Try that on for size. "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

I can't understand why Airtec (or any other AAD manufacturer) could have any kind of liability in case it has been misinstalled... For you, would they also have some responsability if the loop had been routed correctly but the device was not switched ON ?? (designing a device that could be used despite not being turned ON, they should have an "auto-switch-ON as soon as you touch the rig ? ) +1 Airtec is off the hook for this one in my book. I'd say about 95% student, 5% rigger as well.
