Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This instrument requires owners/operators of parachutes with specified part numbers to immediately remove those canopies from service and remove or obliterate the TSO‑C23b marking because acidic mesh panels have been found to weaken adjacent fabric. It affects anyone owning, operating, maintaining or certifying the listed canopies, places costs and logistical burdens on them, and sets mandatory action with no staged compliance, exceptions, or implementation procedures.
