FAA SAFO Issued For Basik Air Concept Parachutes

French Civil Aviation Directorate Has Issued An Emergency AD

The FAA has posted a Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO) directed toward owners, operators, and riggers of Basik Air Concept Parachutes that the Directorate General for Civil Aviation (France) or Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC) has issued EAD UF-2012-007.

Basik Air Concept manufactured and shipped a reserve parachute systems without production approval from the DGAC. The DGAC issued EAD UF-2012-007 for any reserve parachute system, or element of such a system such as harnesses, reserve canopies and associated accessories, manufactured by Basik Air Concept, and delivered after September 30, 2011 without an EASA Form 1 release certificate. This EAD specifies returning the referenced system to the manufacturer, Basik Air Concept, to verify conformity to an approved design as verified by the DGAC.

The airworthiness concern is not considered an unsafe condition that would cause the FAA to issue an AD.

Although compliance with DGAC EAD UF-2012-007 is not mandatory in the United States, the FAA recommends that all owners, operators, and riggers of affected Basik Air Concept parachutes comply with the EAD.
