Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22244 · Parachute
MarS A.S. Parachutes
This AD applies to MarS A.S. ATL-88/90-1B (commercially known as ATL-15 SL) emergency parachutes part number (P/N) 09994, P/N 09995, and P/N 09996 (no dash number) that meet either of the criterion in paragraph (c)(1) or (2) of this AD:
(1) The parachute has a date of manufacture of January 1, 2016, or later; or
(2) The date of manufacture of the parachute is unknown.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-07- 05, which applied to certain MarS A.S. emergency parachutes. AD 2022- 07-05 superseded AD 2022-05-09, expanded the applicability, and required removing all emergency parachutes manufactured since 2016. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-07-05, MarS A.S. developed a modification for the emergency parachutes to correct the unsafe condition. This AD requires modifying and re-identifying the emergency parachutes. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
As of the effective date of this AD, modify and re-identify each emergency parachute in accordance with the Service Bulletin Procedure, paragraph 7.b., of MarS a.s. Service Bulletin No. 01/04/2022, Rev. C, dated April 8, 2022.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
