What maintenance is required on a BRS system?
A. Three maintenance cycles are important. • First: the unit must have an annual inspection, just like the rest of the airplane. • Second: the parachute must be repacked every 10 years. This work must be done by BRS (primarily due to the machine pressure packing of the canopy). The parachute and all lines will be removed and thoroughly inspected. • Third: every 10 years, the rocket must be replaced at an estimated cost of $1,000 If the parachute system or its components are subjected to any unusual stress or exposure (physical damage or contamination), additional charges may apply. All prices are guidelines and are subject to change without prior notice.
