CADs are to be removed and installed ONLY by whom?

• A. QA personnel
• B. Trained personnel
• C. Supervisors
• D. Any crew member

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that removing and installing CADs requires specialized training and demonstrated competency. These components are critical to the rig’s integrity and safety, so the procedures must be done by someone who has learned the correct handling, inspection, tools, torque, seating, locking mechanisms, and verification steps. When done by trained personnel, you reduce the risk of damage, improper installation, or malfunction that could compromise a jump. QA personnel focus on verifying quality, not on performing the physical removal and installation. Supervisors oversee and ensure procedures are followed, but they may not personally perform the task unless they are specifically trained for it. Allowing any crew member to handle CADs without the necessary training increases the risk of improper technique.
