Prepare pilot chute for stowing as follows:
NOTE
Proper layout of the pilot chute consists of two adjacent lines free
from turns, tangles and twists from the canopy skirt to the bridle
attaching point.
1. Insert packing paddle, on edge, between bottom side flap and pilot chute protector flaps. Remove
any twists and tangles from pilot chute suspension lines, working from connector loop to skirt of
canopy.
2. With the left hand, grasp suspension lines at skirt of pilot chute canopy, and place the hand over coil
of opening frame. With right hand, straighten and fold the skirt inward between frame ribs.
