Telesis 2

The BOC ripcord handle is held in place when the cable is sandwiched between Velcro tabs at the center of the pouch where a BOC Pilot chute would be stowed. In freefall, the tabs allow movement of the handle such that its location may be unpredictable at pull time.

More details to come.

 In January, 2000, a pair of main risers was found in the field where the locking loops were not bartacked and consequently one of the loops pulled out, releasing the riser. Fortunately this did not result in any injury. These risers were relatively new and presumed to have been manufactured within the previous few months. At the time, we believed that this was an isolated occurrence but to preclude a re-occurrance of the problem, RI implemented an additional manufacturing inspection of the riser loop bartacks.

An incident occurred with a Telesis 2 system where there was a main/reserve entanglement. During the investigation, one of the scenarios focused on the RSL and the possibility of its being snagged and activating the reserve before releasing the main canopy. While there was no direct proof of the RSL causing the entanglement, further testing resulted in the development of a protective sleeve to preclude accidental snagging of the RSL.

All users of an Aviacom Argus equipped Rigging Innovations harness and container system should remove the Argus AAD from their system, prior to making ANY further jumps with the system.

See the service bulletin file for more information.

RI harness and container systems listed in the service bulletin may be assembled with the MarS M2, by a certificated and appropriately ratedFAA master or senior parachute rigger or foreign equivalent.
