Nach der Modifikation muss es auf dem Warninglabel vermerkt werden. Wenn diese Modifikation noch nicht ausgeführt wurde bleiben die Beschränkungen wie umschrieben in Sicherheitsmitteilung SM 010901 in Kraft.
Schirme mit den Seriennummern von der Liste Annex 2 müssen nach Prozedur wie umschrieben in #CF0102 modifiziert werden, Crossfire mit Spectra leinen müssen mit Vectran Leinen neu beleint werden
Herstelleranweisungen betreffend Prozedur #CF0110 und #CF0102 können beim Hersteller beantragt werden.

#20011025
Date of Notice: October 25, 2001
Effective: Immediately
Applicability: Serial Numbers Attached
Requirement: Line-trim adjustment
Compliance: Mandatory
Compliance Date: November 30, 2001
Note: This Service Bulletin supersedes Safety Bulletins #20010914 & #20011004.
Background:
Safety bulletin #20010914 was released on 14 September 2001 following the identification of some Crossfire’s that experienced buffeting and/or instability while using front riser control inputs. Users were advised to refrain from performing front riser control inputs below 1000ft AGL.
Safety Bulletin #20011004 was released on October 04 expanding on our knowledge of the situation resulting from testing to that date. Additionally a further warning was issued to Crossfire users requesting that those users with limited experience, who may not possess the necessary knowledge to determine whether or not their canopy may be affected, should refrain from using their canopy pending the conclusion of our testing.
Resulting from subsequent testing we have been able to stabilize all affected Crossfire’s by performing a minor line-trim modification to the canopy. Further action may be taken at a later date however we feel it prudent to act quickly and decisively to stabilize any canopies which may be affected and to allow Crossfire users to return to flying their canopy without flight restrictions.
Required Action:
(Annex 1) Canopies with serial numbers attached as annex 1 require line trim modification specification #CF0110. This modification must be performed before 30 November 2001.
Upon completion of the line trim modification the canopy warning label must be placarded by the rigger who performed the modification by using a permanent marker & writing on the warning label as follows:
COMPLIES WITH SERVICE BULLETIN #20011025; MM/DD/YY; NAME; SIGNATURE; RIGGER CERTIFICATE NUMBER.
Note: Canopies remain subject to the flight restrictions as stated in bulletin #20010914 and #20011004 until such time as this modification is performed. Upon completion of the modification these canopies are no longer subject to any flight restrictions. It is recommended that these modifications are performed immediately. Canopies not modified before 30 November 2001 will be considered grounded at that stage.
Canopies with serial numbers not listed on Annex 1 or Annex 2 are not subject to this bulletin.
(Annex 2) Canopies with serial numbers attached as annex 2 require modification to trim specification #CF0102 before 30 November 2001. Note: Canopies in annex 2 that have been re-lined or re-trimmed since 01 February 2001 will have been fitted with trim specification #CF0102 at that time and will not require any further trim modification. Contact Icarus Canopies for details and to confirm whether your canopy requires this trim update.
Note: It is not necessary to Placard these canopies.
Performing the Trim Modification:
Icarus Canopies will perform the trim modification at no charge should you wish to return your canopy to our facility. Please contact Icarus prior to sending your canopy to attain a reference number. We will also advise an estimated time frame and investigate options to minimize any disruption to your jumping.
Should you wish to expedite this process, local master riggers are able to perform this trim change. Riggers can contact Icarus Canopies to request the necessary instructions and specifications to perform this modification. Additionally, should you not know of a rigger able to perform this modification and wish to have it performed locally, attached is a list of rigging lofts able to perform this modification with bartac equipment comparable to factory specifications. The trim change should take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour and should be no more than the cost of a reserve re-pack.
Replacing Spectra Line with Vectran:
Due to the superior trim qualities of Vectran, Crossfire’s with Spectra line require a line-set replacement to Vectran before 30 November 2001. Contact Icarus Canopies for details.
