1、February 8, 1997 TS 116 Parachute Industry Association PIA - Technical Standard 116 RIGGING INCIDENT REPORT Background: The purpose of this report is to present a uniform way to document rigging incidents and track trends concerning problem riggers. Thi s form is designed to be objective and can be
2、used to notify the equipment owner, rigger and relevant organizations of problem riggers so that appropriate action may be taken. A three level program has been developed so that every effort is made to resolve minor problems through education, remedial action and on an individual basis as suggested
3、 in level 1. If the problem is not resolved at the first level or the problem is more serious, then a level 2 plan of action is provided, as stated below. If the att itude of the rigger is such that they are uncooperative or the nature of the problem is of such a serious and life threatening nature,
4、 then the level 3 course of action as stated below is suggested. In all cases accurate documentation is important, especially at a level 3 incident report. The following is a description of the three levels. Level I This level concerns minor rigging incidents that are not serious or life threatening
5、. You should notify the rigger involved to explain what you have found and ask for their explanation of the problem. If a successful resolution of the problem is achieved no further action need be taken on your part. If there will be an expense to the owner of the equipment then they should be notif
6、ied. They may want their equipment returned to the original rigger for corrective action. Level 2 This level is for more serious problems that may be life threatening and include defective workmanship, disregard of the FARs (Or other Regulations) and repeat incidents. Not only should t he rigger be
7、notified, but the owner and the manufacture of the equipment should be notified for possible violations of the manufacturers instructions and/or authorizations. Level 3 This level is reserved for the most serious and life threatening incidents. The proper authority, such as the FAA, will be notified
8、 for official action. It must be remembered that once an official report is filed with the governing authority, they are obligated to investigate, issue a report and possibly take legal action again st the rigger involved. Again, this level of action is reserved for the most serious incidents that a
9、re of a life threatening nature, show persistent recurrence of problems and/or an unrepentant attitude on the part of the rigger. February 8, 1997 TS 116 The following are suggested guidelines for the actual documentation of the report. 1. To best protect yourself it is suggested that as soon as a p
10、roblem is identified, do the following: A) Have an independent witness substantiate your findings, preferably another rigger. B) Photograph the problem area, preferably with a camera that has a close - up lens. Make two copies of the photos, one to keep and one to submit with any report if that beco
11、mes necessary. C) Video the problem area if possible. This is a very useful tool in the documentation process. 2. Check to see if the seal is intact or still attached to the ripcord pin. Do not throw it away as the packing data card may be missing or be illegible and the seal may be the only means o
12、f identifying the rigger inv olved. 3. Notify the rigger involved for their response. If possible, allow them the opportunity to examine the equipment. It is recommended that you have another rigger present at that time. 4. Notify the owner of the equipment and keep them informed. Let them know that
13、 the rigger involved was contacted and keep them informed of their response. Tell the owner what corrective action must be taken to return their equipment to service. 5. Decide on what further action needs to be taken by you and/or the owner of th e equipment. Explain to the owner their options. Int
