Should defect or damage be discovered at any point during the inspection, the inspection will be
terminated and the applicable item will be processed and forwarded to repair activity. The repair activity,
in turn, will conduct a technical/rigger-type inspection that will be performed by only those parachute rigger
personnel cited in AR 750-32. The repair activity inspection of personnel parachutes will be made on the
light table.
Any defect discovered during a unit level repair activity inspection, that exceeds the capability of that
activity, will require the affected item to be evacuated to a direct support maintenance function.
Lubrication Service Intervals. The MC-6 Personnel Parachute System assemblies do not require
lubrication service.
NOTE
Parachutes that are deemed unserviceable, by packing or rigging activity, will be rigger-
rolled (see the ACCORDION FOLDING/RIGGER ROLLING paragraph detailed in WP
Table 1. Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services for MC-6.
