Parachute approvals under EASA responsibility
This document is published to give an overview of EASA's responsibility related to parachutes.
1. This list has been produced in conjunction with the NAAs of the State of Design and reflect the approvals issued by EU Member State NAAs prior to EASA.
2. The absence of an approval number on this list does not mean that the parachute has no formal civilian approval, just that at the time of writing there was no immediate evidence of this fact.
3. Some parachutes might be listed under different manufacturer names, as the data provided by the NAAs represents a snapshot at the time of approval. Names changes of companies might have occured in the meantime.
4. This list contains a snapshot based on the information as provided by the NAAs and will not be updated.
5. All ETSOAs issued by EASA and all future approvals under the EASA ETSO system will be included in the normal publication of ETSO authorisations which is updated on a monthly basis on the EASA
website under http://www.easa.europa.eu/ws_prod/c/doc/Design_Appro/etsoa.pdf
The listing provided contains the following information sorted by the name of the manufacturer:
1. Name and country of the manufacturer
2. Model name
3. NAA which provided the data
4. Reference to NAA approval or n/a if no reference was provided
5. Remarks such as former company names (as known), or other details provided
Personnel parachutes within the scope of EASA are parachutes designed for wearing or installation on board of an aircraft within the scope of EASA for use in case of an emergency. All other parachutes are under the responsibility of the relevant Member States.
Disclaimer: EASA has produced this list of parachutes strictly for information purposes only. It is based
on information received from the Member States. Whilst every care has been taken in
preparing the contents of the list to avoid errors the Agency makes no warranty as to the
accuracy, completeness or currency of the content. The Agency shall not be liable for any
kind of damages or other claims or demands incurred as a result of incorrect, insufficient or
invalid data, or arising out of or in connection with the use, copying, or display of the
content, to the extend permitted by European and national laws. The information contained
in the list should not be construed as legal advice.
