RIPCORD/RIPCORD GRIP POCKET TEST FOR THE T-10R AND THE MIRPS
Upon initial receipt of a new T-10R or MIRPS Assembly, a new T-10R or MIRPS pack tray, or a newly
installed T-10R or MIRPS ripcord grip pocket, the T-10R and MIRPS will be completely packed lAW WP
0012 00 or WP 0013 00. The MIRPS will be subjected to both a 7-pound minimum and 27-pound
maximum ripcord pull test, whereas the T-10R will only be subjected to the 27-pound maximum ripcord
pull test.
NOTE
To conduct the T-10R ripcord pull tests, the packed T-10R shall be
firmly attached by its two-connector snaps to a suitable rigid
structure (hook or nail attached to a wall or 4x4 post) such that the
pack tray is positioned vertically with the ripcord grip pointing down.
There must be sufficient clearance beneath the vertically suspended
T-10R to suspend a weight from the ripcord grip and allow it to
withdraw the ripcord grip pins from the cones activating the
parachute.
To conduct the MIRPS ripcord pull tests, the packed MIRPS shall be
firmly attached by its two-connector snaps to a suitable rigid
structure (hook or nail attached to a wall or 4x4 post) such that the
pack tray is positioned horizontally with the ripcord grip pointing
down. There must be sufficient clearance beneath the horizontally
suspended MIRPS to suspend a weight from the ripcord grip and
allow it to withdraw the ripcord grip pins from the soft loops
activating the parachute.
7-POUND PULL TEST (MIRPS)
1. Rotate the ripcord grip clockwise and counter clockwise within the pocket about 45 degrees in each
direction as it’s being slowly withdrawn from the pocket.
