ROUTINE INSPECTION
A routine inspection is a visual check performed to ascertain the serviceability of all visible components
of a parachute that is packed or rigged for use. The inspection will be made on all components that can
be inspected without opening the pack. This inspection will be administered by a parachute rigger prior
to use. Parachutes issued for an aerial delivery operation and not deployed will receive a routine
inspection prior to being placed into ready-for-issue storage.
PACK-IN-PROCESS INSPECTION
A pack-in-process inspection is performed at specified intervals during the packing of a parachute to
insure that only authorized procedures and methods are being used. A parachute rigger other than the
packer or rigger preparing the applicable equipment for use will accomplish this inspection.
