Ballistic Recovery Systems Passes LAMA Audit

First Parachute-Maker To Complete ASTM Compliance Process

Whole-aircraft emergency parachute manufacturer Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. announced this week it had passed its Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association (LAMA) audit for compliance with the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for production of emergency whole aircraft parachute recovery systems.

"Your management team is leading the way in its commitment to safety and education for all those involved with your products," said LAMA President Tom Gunnarson in his announcement letter to BRS senior management. "LAMA looks forward to a continued close relationship with BRS as we forge ahead in developing a vital industry for the future of aviation."

BRS Vice President of Engineering, Frank Hoffmann, called passing the audit "a significant milestone for any firm dealing with the Light Sport industry. It means we have the processes and people in place to make quality aviation products in a consistent manner."

"This audit showcases BRS’s abilities to meet the quality needs of our customers," added BRS CEO Larry Williams. "I am very proud of our entire team in achieving this significant milestone.

BRS is the first whole-aircraft parachute system manufacturer to successfully complete an independent ASTM standards compliance audit.

Based in South Saint Paul, MN, BRS designs, manufactures, and distributes whole-aircraft emergency parachute systems for general aviation and recreational aircraft. Since 1981, BRS has delivered more than 29,000 parachute systems to aircraft owners worldwide, including over 3,500 systems on FAA-certificated aircraft such as the Cirrus Design SR20 and SR22 manufactured in Duluth, Minnesota.

To date, BRS parachute recovery systems have been credited with saving the lives of 213 pilots and passengers.
