AIRING
Where dampness and mildew are prevalent, air delivery equipment will be aired at frequent intervals
according to the severity of the prevailing conditions. Parachutes that have been previously packed or
are unpacked, which have been subjected to conditions of dampness or mildew, will be aired for a period
of at least 6 hours prior to being repacked. Air delivery items may be aired either indoors or outdoors in
dry weather. However, fabric items will not be aired in direct sunlight. Airing may be accomplished by
suspending or elevating the applicable item(s) in a manner which would allow entire exposure to the
circulation of air. Outside facilities used for the shakeout of parachutes may be used for the airing of air
delivery equipment if weather conditions permit. If the shakeout facilities are inadequate for airing, the
applicable item(s) may be suspended or elevated at several points or by draping over suitable type
objects which would not cause damage.
