Dear IAC19 members,
See the important message below from Master Rigger FJ Hale on the subject of parachute life.
Thanks, FJ, this is indeed good news!

I just got a call from a Don Young with the FAA in Atlanta. He assures me in no uncertain terms that there is no expiration on the life of a parachute. The question came up when I sent unit up to another rigger for some repairs I was not equipped to make. He advised me that after 20 years the FAA would not certify them. No so. Just like an aircraft, it depends on condition.
