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).
