PARAMECANIC
AB
Paramecanic
was founded in 1971 in co-operation with the Swedish Parachute Association
(SFF), in order to cover the need for periodical test and control of the
parachute clubs' Automatic Activation Device (AAD) systems.
There
have been many changes during the past 35 years, and we have
a good understanding, know-how and experience that we apply
in our continuing development of AAD's. We apply this knowledge
for our own parachutes as well as in student education programs.
We adjust, repair and control the functions of AAD in our own
workshop in Bålsta.
Paramecanic
is also authorized by the Swedish Parachute Association to test
and control parachutes.
Paramecanic
tests, makes adjustments and repairs the AAD type KAP3, SENTINEL
MK2000, FXC 12000 and ASTRA EXPERT and is authorized by: The
Swedish Parachute Association, The Swedish Board of Civil Aviation,
the FXC Corporation, USA, and The Defence Material Administration
of Sweden (FMV).
Paramecanic
is the sole representative for FXC's in Europe and answers for
functional control, adjustments and repair as well as for sales
of FXC 12000 and ASTRA. We carry spare parts for these units
in our own shop, allowing us to give fast service to all parachute
clubs in Europe. We guarantee that the customer will benefit
from the FXC´s latest construction developments. In connection
with the periodical control the AAD will be brought up to date.
Paramecanic
has also put together an education tutorial program for instructors,
jump masters and material responsibilities in order to guarantee
that the handling of FXC 12000 as well as other AAD are carried
out correctly and in a safe manner according to the FXC service
shop requirements.
In our largest sub pressure chamber, with the main and spare
parachute mounted on a rig, the AAD can be tested in a simulated
jump from e.g. 2000 meters height.
Paramecanic
will always feedback the findings via test protocol to the manufacturers.
Material warnings are issued in consultation with SFF. Suggestions
to changes in constructions or observations, showing insufficient
quality, are also fed back to AAD and/or parachute manufacturers.
Paramecanic
has, since FXC 12000 was introduced on the marked in 1981, collected
test data for each individual unit deviating observation at
the periodical control 2 years. The user may, free of charge,
see the clubs statistics.
Paramecanic
can also aid in total restoration of salt water landing AAD.
SENTINEL
MK2000 the electronic AAD unit is well known to the Swedish
jumpers ever since the 70's. A few of these AAD are still
in use and they still get the same expert quality control during
the yearly functional tests at Paramecanic.
As
you can see from the above, we have the know-how, the experience
and the trust and confidence of skydivers!
Should
you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
