1.3 Softie TSO Certification
The Softie harness and container systems are approved under FAA TSO-C23b, Standard Category
and certified for use in a variety of weight and speed combinations. Use limitations will depend on
the canopy weight and speed limitations and the TSO category under which canopy certification was
achieved. See section 3.8 for information concerning limitations of the canopy which has been
assembled with the users Softie. For questions regarding limitations and certifications consult a
qualified FAA Rigger or call Para-Phernalia, Inc. at 360-435-7220 or FAX at 360-435-7272.
1.4 Rigger Qualifications
In order to pack and maintain this parachute system, the FAA Senior or Master Rigger - or foreign
equivalent - must possess an appropriate rating endorsement to their certificate. All Softie models
require a Back rating except the Seat model which requires a Seat rating endorsement. Because the
Back models are also certified compatible with ramair parachutes when assembled with the Para-
Phernalia ramair parachute deployment bag, the Rigger should be appropriately trained in the assem-
bly and packing of these canopies prior to certifying the Softie for emergency use.
No certificated parachute rigger may -
(e)
Pack, maintain, or alter a parachute in any manner that deviates from
the procedures approved by an FAA administrator OR the
manufacturer of the parachute; or
(f)
Exercise the privileges of his certificate and type rating unless he
understands the current manufacturer’s instructions for the operation
involved.
Note:
ANYONE who circumvents Para-Phernalia, Inc., assembly and packing instructions, or the packing
instructions of the manufacturer of any of the component parts assembled with the Softie harness
and container system, is in violation of FAR Part 65.129 and is therefore performing an illegal
procedure.
