Part: PROBE — GROUNDED (ZONE 500) · airframe 9,293 hrs · 5,039 cycles
DURING CLIMB OUT, 1/3 RT ROLL WAS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN LEVEL FLIGHT. THE ACFT RETURNED TO DEPARTURE.
Part: CYLINDER — EMPTY (RAFT INFLATION)
UPON INSPECTING THE HYDROSTATIC TEST DATE ON THE CO2 CYLINDER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CYLINDER WAS DUE FOR HYDROSTATIC TESTING, AND WE THEN PULLED THE CYLINDER CABLE TO RELEASE THE CO2 FROM INSIDE THE CYLINDER. UPON DOING THIS, WE DISCOVERED THAT IT THE CYLINDER WAS EMPTY. FIRING CABLE HAD BEEN PULLED FROM FIRING HEAD AND WAS LAYING INSIDE THE VALICE. THE INFLATION CYLINDER HAD BEEN DISCHARGED AND WAS THEREFORE EMPTY. THE INFLATION CYLINDER WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE RAFT. THE RAFT CAME TO OUR FACILITY AND APPEARED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN OPERABLE CONDITION AND READY TO BE USED. THERE WERE NO TAGS OF ANY TYPE ON THE RAFT THAT INDICATE WHEN OR WHO LAST INSPECTED THE RAFT.
Part: BOTTLE — EMPTY (RAFT INFLATION)
THE LIFE RAFT ARRIVED AT OUR FACILITY FOR ANNUAL INSPECTION. UPON INSPECTING AND WEIGHING THE CO2 CYLINDER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CYLINDER WAS EMPTY.
