WARNING
Failure to detect areas of damage may result in malfunction of the
parachute and injury, or loss of life, to personnel.
NOTE
The parachute shall be repacked every 120 days.
INSPECTION
If defects or damages are discovered during inspection of a parachute, the parachute must be rigger-
rolled and processed for maintenance, in accordance with Accordion Folding/Rigger Rolling procedures
(WP 0042 00). A technical/rigger-type inspection and a pack-in-process inspection must be performed in
conjunction with the packing of each parachute (refer to WP 0009 00).
