Softie parachute EASA type certificate

[bjorn]

Hi!

I am looking for an EASA type certificate, or a national type
certificate from any EASA country, for a Long Softie parachute. Any
European Softie owner or reseller out there who can help me?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Bjorn,

I'm a Softie dealer in the USA. Have you asked Para-Phernalia directly?
They are at:


However, they seem much easier to reach by phone at:
1-360-435-7220.

Good Soaring,

Hi Paul,

I have written three times and phoned once. The person I talked to was
helpful
but with the not entirely correct idea that the FAA certificate would
be accepted.
As far as I understand the current situation, FAA type certificates are
accepted
in the sense that an EASA type certificate can be issued based on the
FAA one,
but there is an administrative procedure to go through that is not free
of charge.
There is no Swedish type certificate for Softie parachutes, but thanks
to EASA
all I need is either an EASA type certificate or one from another EASA
country,
so if somebody, like a European Para-Phernalia agent or so, has already
done
this I hope can get a copy of the type certificate and avoid the hassle
and the
cost. The minimum of information I need would be the name of an EASA
country
where the Softie is certified. I could then contact the CAA in question
and get a
copy of the certificate.

Beaurocracy, just spelling it is almost impossible...

Björn
