The remaining bridle should be S-folded in
a "V“ shape on top of the first two flaps.

be placed on top of the first flap of the freebag
in 5 to 6 medium-size S-folds. Each subse-
quent S-fold should be slightly shorter than the
previous one. There should be at least 2m (6½
ft.) of bridle remaining unstowed.

secured by means of the temporary closing pin.
Make sure that no fabric is caught in the spring
of the pilot chute.

of the S-folds and close the flap with a tempo-
rary closing pin.
