BRITISH PARACHUTE ASSOCIATION 2/14 VECTOR TANDEM (GREY) MILITARY CONTAINERS, MVT 421 MILITARY CANOPIES AND CYPRES MILITARY AADs It has come to light that a number of Ex-Military (grey colour) Tandem containers and Tandem reserve parachutes (MVT 421) are being/have been used at a number of BPA Affiliated Clubs. These containers and reserves canopies are not cleared for use in the Sport Parachuting role and are therefore grounded with immediate effect. Some of these containers may have been modified in some way. They are also grounded and are not to be used. There are also a number of Cypres Military (green button) that were fitted to the above containers. These have not been accepted for Sport Parachuting and are therefore also grounded. 29th September 2014 Jeff Montgomery Safety & Technical Officer Distribution: CCI’s Council Riggers Advanced Packers Tandem STC Mailing DZ Operators Skydive Mag CAA UPT File Wharf Way, Glen Parva, Leicester, LE2 9TF Telephone: 0116 278 5271, Facsimile: 0116 247 7662, e-mail: [email protected]
