Airworthiness advisory  
Paraglider emergency parachute Amigo P 1 DHV GS-02-0014-90 

 
On opening a Paraglider emergency equipment Amigo P1 
the following problems were discovered: 

The force required to open the equipment could be higher than permitted 
because the Velcros on the out-side container are too wide. 
Emergency equipment from the Series number 365 - 400 are affected. 
Glue residue from inappropriate self gluing name plates can stick 
the panels of the canopy together. Emergency equipment from the 
Series number 365 - 457 are affected. 
In agreement with the previous manufacturer Schlager und Strobel 
and the present manufacturer Michael Engelhardt the DHV has decided 
on the following precautionary Safety measures: 

All paraglider emergency equipment of the design Amigo P1 from the 
Serial numbers 365 - 457 must be checked and reworked by the manufacturer. 
This airworthiness instruction came into force when it was published 
in the News for Paragliders and Hang Gliders (NfGH). 

The safety measures must be carried out before the equipment is used again. 

The reworking can be done through the present manufacture
