REGULATORY TEXT:  
80-13-01 STRONG ENTERPRISES: Amendment 39-3793. Applies to all angled plastic parachute ripcord handles (P/N 1034) to which the ripcord cables are attached through only one leg of the handle and not attached through the drilled reinforcing crossbar in a lengthwise direction (see Figure 1). These handles were manufactured by Strong Enterprises in accordance with FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) C-23b, Parachutes, for use on Strong Enterprises "Pop-Top" Chest-Mounted Reserve Parachutes (P/N 1023), but may be found on parachutes of other makes, models or types.

Compliance required as indicated unless already accomplished.

To prevent the possible nondeployment of a parachute canopy due to separation of the plastic handle from the ripcord cable when subjected to the deployment pull force, accomplish the following: replace the plastic handle shown in Figure 1 with a metal handle (P/N 1025) supplied by Strong Enterprises prior to the parachute being made available for any parachute jump.

Compliance with the provisions of this AD may be accomplished in an equivalent manner approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Southern Region.

This amendment becomes effective June 16, 1980.
