A CYPRES 2-equipped rig may be transported
in freight and passenger aircraft without restric-
tions. All of its components (e.g., measuring
systems, electronics, power supply, loop cutter,
control unit, plugs, cables, and casing) as well as
the entire system, contain parts and materials that
are approved by U.S. DOT and other competent
agencies worldwide, and are not subject to any
transport regulations.
Given the size of a rig we recommend that it be
checked in as normal luggage and not taken on
board as hand luggage. Should your rig prompt
any queries or objections from security personnel,
please use the card shown on the right which you’ll
find in the back cover of this book. It shows an x-
ray of a complete rig fitted with CYPRES 2. The
x-ray imagery may vary depending on the type and
design of the rig.
The Parachute Industry Association and the USPA
have worked with the Transportation Security
Agency in relation to traveling with parachutes.
