CLOSURE REMEMBER SYSTEM (CRS) ON THE LIGHTNESS 2

Dear LIGHTNESS 2 pilot,

There have been one or two cases of the CRS opening in flight, and this also allows the speedbag to open . This is not a safety issue because the harness remains closed .

Production variations at our supplier have resulted in the end of the locking pin being sometimes too round a shape , and this can lead to the shackle opening when sideloaded . The picture below sho ws the good and bad shapes. For the moment our supplier cannot guarantee a consistent enough quality for this part .

We have developed a modified CRS in Lightness style (even lighter and simpler) to make life easier for you as well as retain your peace of mind . You can get a free one from your dealer or direct from ADVANCE (support@advance.ch). In this case please provide your LIGHTNESS 2 serial number (in the harness back pocket) and your full address . If you have already registered your LIGHTNESS 2 a modi fied CRS (closure remember system) will be sent to you direct.
The new modified CRS will only be sent direct to registered pilots .

It is easy to fit the new #1 part: pictures see here:
