12.2. Packing
This reserve canopy is designed to be packed using a PRO pack method. PRO is an acronym for
Proper Ram air Orientation. That simply means that the canopy is distributed in the container so
that the left side of the canopy is packed into the left side of the container, and similarly, the
right side is packed into the right side of the container. The center of the canopy should be
centered in the container. All the lines should be arranged up the middle of the pack job, with
the fabric neatly and precisely folded to each corresponding side. This method allows for a wide
variation in sizes and shapes of container systems and allows for container systems employing a
through loop or molar deployment bag.
Riggers may employ a number of methods to achieve the results shown in this illustration. As
an example of this variation, some riggers initially organize the canopy over their shoulder and
others do the same organization on the floor. Either method is permissible since this manual is
not intended to show an exact method. The end result is the important part of the packing
procedure. The packing should be neat, orderly, and precise as shown in the illustrations.
Riggers often use a number of tools to accomplish the packing of reserves. The use of tools
introduces the risk that a tool could be accidentally left in a pack job. For this reason all tools
used in the packing procedure need to be completely inventoried before packing. At the end of
the packing, all tools need to again be counted to eliminate the possibility that a tool is left in
the reserve pack job.
