PREPARING PARACHUTE FOR PROPER LAYOUT
Prepare the parachute as follows:
1. If components of the parachute assembly are detected, assemble the parachute during layout in
accordance with WP 0005 00. 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.
NOTE
Attach MIRPS parachute by the apex lines.
2. Attach the connector snaps to the tension plate and apply enough tension to keep the canopy on the
table. Check apex lines to determine if the canopy is inverted. If the apex lines do not appear
attached to the outside of the upper lateral band, the canopy is inverted.
