84-10-03 HERB M. GRAVES, JR: Amendment 39-4861. Applies to all Herbie Hog parachutes equipped with plastic deployment handles.

To prevent possible nondeployment of the parachute canopy due to separation of the plastic handle when subjected to the deployment force, replace the plastic handle with a metal handle. Rework the parachute by removing the plastic handle and cable assembly and replacing it with a "Martin Baker" type metal handle and cable assembly. Care must be taken to assure that the pin spacing and cable length are compatible with the parachute rigging installation.

Compliance is required prior to making the parachute available for any parachute jump and before the next deployment after the effective date of this AD (unless already accomplished).

This amendment becomes effective on May 21, 1984.
