directed by the local air delivery equipment maintenance activity officer. A log record which is illegible, lost, damaged,

e.
Installing Attaching Tie. Install attaching tie as follows:
(1) Cut a 30-inch length of size 6 waxed nylon thread (item 36/37, Appendix D) and double the thread length to
form a 15-inch length, double strand.
(2) Pass the looped end of the double thread length around the centerfold of the log record and form a slip loop
on the outside at the log record top (A, figure 2-1).
(3) Pass the thread length running ends through the corner attaching hole from the front cover of the log record
(B, figure 2-1) and ensure running ends are routed over that part of the thread length located along the log record
centerfold (C, figure 2-1).
(4) Complete the attachment tie by making a half hitch on top of the slip loop made in (2) above.
(5) Thread one running end of the log record attachment tie (D, figure 2-1) in a tacking needle and pass the
tacking needle with attached thread end through the edge binding of the applicable parachute log record/inspection data
pocket.
(6) Remove the thread end from the tacking needle and make a finished 10-inch long log attaching loop by
securing the two thread ends together with an overhand knot.
(7) Insert log record into the pocket and secure the record within pocket using the pocket flap and applicable
type flap fastener.
