ARMY TM 10-1670-278-23&P AIR FORCE T.O. 13C5-26-2 NAVY NAVAIR 13-1-27 2-16.  Packing the 15-Foot Cargo Extraction Parachute (cont). a. Inspection.  If defects or damages are discovered during inspection of a parachute, the parachute must be rigger- rolled and processed for maintenance in accordance with TM 10-1670201-23 and TB 750-126.  A rigger type inspection and a pack-in-process inspection must be performed in conjunction with each packing of a parachute (refer to para 2-13). (1) Rigger-type inspection.    Before  each  parachute  is  packed  for  air  delivery,  it  must  be  given  a  rigger-type Inspection by the packer in accordance with paragraph 2-13 above. (2) Pack-in-process inspection.  A pack-in-process inspection must be performed by a designated supervisory rigger, other than the packer, at seven intervals during the packing procedure.  The inspection is performed to assure that the parachute is packed according to authorized packing procedures.  (Refer to para 2-13). b. Orientation.      Throughout   this   manual,   all   directions   (right,   left,   upper,   lower,   top,   bottom,   clockwise,   and counterclockwise) are given from the rigger's point of view, as the rigger stands at the tension plate end of the packing table facing the apex-hook end of the table (figure 2-9). (1) Top, that portion of the equipment that is farthest from the packing table surface. (2) Bottom, that portion of the equipment that is nearest to the packing table surface. c. Preparing Parachute for Proper Layout.  Prepare the parachute as follows:  (1) If components of the parachute assembly are detached, assemble the parachute during layout in accordance with paragraph 2-8.  Place packing tools in convenient  locations  on  the  packing  table.    Lay  the  canopy  assembly  lengthwise  on  the  packing  table,  and  attach  the canopy to the packing table apex hook (figure 2-10). (2) Attach the connector links to the tension plate and apply enough tension to keep the canopy on the table. Check  vent  lines  to  determine  if  the  canopy  is  Inverted.    If  the  vent  lines  do  not  appear  attached  to  the outside of the upper lateral band, the canopy is inverted. 2-24
