I have personal knowledge of, and personally know of an occurance of a

an out of date parachute in an aircraft. If it is accessible in
flight, it must be in date. If in the aircraft, but not accessable,
no problem. I take no stand on this. I only offer the fact that I
have personally seen a violation issued.

Can you elaborate on the situation? Was it a glider pilot, aerobatic
pilot, or just a crew member? Had the violator been warned previously?
I'm also curious about how out of date it was, and if that was a factor
in the fine, which sounds quite high.
