Figure 7and 7b: Bring 8” or so of line toward the Tail Pocket, creating an S-fold and lay
this bite in either upper corner of the Tail Pocket. Continue S-folding the lines back and
forth across the Tail Pocket. Each S-fold will slightly overlap the one before it. Stow the
lines to within 5” of the top of the risers. The lines MUST enter and exit between the two
Velcro tabs at the bottom center of the Tail Pocket. This helps ensure that the Velcro
does not actually need to open to complete line deployment. Close the Tail Pocket
by mating the Velcro to its coordinating piece. Start at the corners and work the
Velcro up the sides and across the bottom making certain no lines get caught in the
Velcro. Be sure to mate the Velcro exactly.
Refer to your container manual for instructions on how to pack the canopy into the
container to complete the pack job.
Section 7.4: Packing for comfortable openings
When jumping the Troll DW / MDV for terminal slider up jumps you can try to follow
adjustments to your pack job to help make the openings more comfortable:
1.
The most significant factor that affects your openings is freefall speed. If you
deploy your canopy from a track you are much more likely to experience hard
openings. If possible, return to a box position before deploying to help dissipate
some of your horizontal speed prior to deploying (assuming the object offers
safe altitude to do so).
2.
Check the suitability of your pilot chute for the delay / canopy size. An over
sized pilot chute can cause line dump and center cell stripping. If you have any
questions please contact us.
3.
Rolling the nose is also an option on large terminal objects which allow
significant object separation.
