WARNING
Failure to detect areas of damage may result in malfunction of the parachute and injury or loss of life to
personnel.
a.
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 para. 2-46. A modified/rigger-type inspection and a pack-in-process
inspection must be performed in conjunction with each packing of a parachute (refer to para. 2-13).
(1)
Modified/rigger-type inspection. Before each parachute is packed for air delivery, it must be given a
modified/rigger-type inspection by the packer in accordance with paragraph 2-13c(2).
(2)
Pack-in-process inspection. A pack-in-process inspection must be performed by a designated supervisory rigger,
other than the packer, 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 para. 2-13).
