Publication ID: Fall 2008

Title: Parachute Repack Authorization
Abstract: This amendment addresses requirements for individuals who pack, maintain, or alter main parachutes of a dual-parachute system to be used for intentional parachute jumping in connection with civil aircraft of the United States. The change would clarify the authority granted to an unsupervised, non-certificated person and expressly limit that authority to packing the main parachute of a dual system only when that person will be the next jumper to use the parachute. This action would correct inadvertent changes to the regulatory language in the 2001 revision of the rule and would enhance the safety of parachute operations in the National Airspace System (NAS).
