lvpazik Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I have a 2012 CTLSi and the BRS chute repack is due. Anyone remove this themselves to send in to BRS? Don't know if this is legal or difficult. I would assume a licensed A&P would have to reinstall it to keep it legal. I have been told it's an easy removal but without being provided with any details/instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 You need a certified mechanic to remove and install the chute legally, unless your airplane is experimental. I have seen it done, it’s nothing crazy difficult. But you do have to twist yourself into the baggage bay where space is tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I have done a CTLSi, and it is no cake walk. I found it dificult to get to the shackle to disconnect the straps. The CTSW is a piece of cake in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the baggage doors. I have done a regular CTLS as well. The CTLSi has fuel lines in the way, and maybe different positioning of the straps in the structure. I just know compared to the others it was not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODowneyEng Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I replaced Parachute & Rocket Motor last July. It was straight forward following the Instructions. Rocket Motor Assy. Shipped Unassembled due to it being explosive. One must be home to sign for it. A bench vice is a must for assembly. You will need A&P or LSRM-A to do the installation. The instructions are good.

Doug G. Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have done this on a CTLS. The most difficult part for me was getting it lifted to align it with the bolt holes when I reinstalled it. I was not able to do it without help. I think it will go better next time. I have an advantage because I have kids in the Twin Cities so I had a wonderful lace to stay when I dropped it off and picked it up a couple of weeks later. Got a tour of the repack facility too.
