A variety of parachutes are affected, manufactured from 2016 to 2021. The ATL emergency parachute is popular amongst glider and sport pilots around the world, coming in a low profile, slim pack, with options for back-mounted and seated styles. The parachute may also be sold as the ATL-88/90, -88/92-S, and -88/98-S. The warning concerns those chutes that rely on Microline cord for its static extension line.
