WARNING
Failure to detect areas of damage may result in malfunction of the

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 0054 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).
1. Technical/Rigger Type Inspection. During the packing of the parachute, it must be given a
technical/rigger-type inspection by the packer in accordance with WP 0009 00 detailed above.
2. Pack-In-Process Inspection. A designated supervisory rigger, other than the packer, must perform a
pack-in process inspection at seven intervals during the packing procedure. The inspection is performed
to assure that the parachute is packed according to authorized packing procedures (refer to WP 0009
00).
