In accordance with AFI 10-3503, Personnel Parachute Operations, rescue operators are required to wear parachute risers, drogues and airbags as part of free-fall jumps, and per AFI 10-3503 Chapter 9, 9.1.1.3, USAF parachutists will only use the equipment for which they have received system-specific training. An Approved For Use List exists that is signed by the AF Personnel Parachute Program Manager. The Air Force Personnel Parachute Program (PPP) Approved For Use List (AUL) specifically identifies the SPECIAL OPERATIONS VECTOR-3 TANDEM SIGMA (SOV-TS), MAIN , SPECIAL OPERATIONS VECTOR-3 TANDEM SIGMA (SOV3-TS), RESERVE , and TANDEM PHOENIX (TP) SERIES as authorized parachute systems to be worn by rescue operators. These parachute systems are manufactured and sold by Complete Parachute Solutions, INC (CPS).
