The tearing resistance of the cloth - A non-destructive test following the TS-108 standard which
species minimum tear strength for sky diving canopies should be made using a Bettsometer. (B.M.A.A.
Approved Patent No. GB 2270768 Clive Betts Sails)
Strength of the lines - An upper, middle and lower A line, along with a lower B line should be tested for
strength.
Lengths of the lines - The overall length (riser lines + mid lines + upper lines) has to be checked under
5Kgs of tension. The difference between the measured length and the original length should not exceed
+/- 10mm.
Compliance of the test sample’s suspension lines, brake lines and risers were checked by the testing
laboratory after the test ights were completed.
Risers - Visual inspection for signs of wear or abrasion. Differences to manual lengths should not exceed
+/-5mm.
Canopy check - A full visual check should be carried out: All the components of the wing (stitching, ribs,
diagonals, lines, tabs etc) should be checked for signs of deterioration.
Finally, a ight test to conrm that the wing behaves normally should be carried out by a professional.
Modifications
Your Ozone Swift 6 was designed and trimmed to give the optimum balance of performance, handling and
safety. Any modication will result in the loss of certication and will make the wing more dangerous and
difcult to y. For these reasons, we strongly recommend to not modify your wing in any way.
IMPORTANT
Do not modify your
wing in any way.
