(2)  Parachutes will be stored in a dry, well-ventilated location and protected from pilferage, dampness, fire, dirt, insects, rodents, and direct sunlight. (3)    Parachutes  will  not  be  stored  in  a  manner  which  would  prevent  ventilation  or  interfere  with  light fixtures, heating vents, fire fighting devices, cooling units, exits, or fire doors.

(6)    Parachutes  will  not  be  stored  in  direct  contact  with  any  building  floor  or  wall.    Storage  will  be accomplished   using   bins,   shelves,   pallets,   racks,   or   dunnage   to   provide   airspace   between   the storage area floor and the equipment.  If preconstructed shelving or similar storage accommodations are not available, locally fabricate storage provisions using suitable lumber or wooden boxes.
