Safety issue

The current configuration of some sports parachuting aircraft
may not be conducive to occupant survivability in the event of an
aircraft accident.

Safety Recommendation

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the Civil
Aviation Safety Authority direct that non-Australian Parachute
Federation sports parachuting organisations conduct a review of
their aircraft in order to identify and mitigate potential aircraft
equipment-related crash survivability issues.
