3) Inspect each rib
from leading edge to the trailing edge by looking inside each
cell. Pay extra attention to the line attachment points.
4) Lay the canopy on one side,
stacking each loaded rib on top of the others.
Check that all lines in each line group are the same length and that the trim differen-
tial between each line group is correct for this reserve. Check the condition of the
stabilizers and slider stops on the stabilizer.
5) Suspension lines:
Check the full length of each line for damage and wear.
Look for fraying at all cascades and where each line attaches to the connector link.
Check that all lines are sewn and that the stitching is good. Check the continuity
and routing of each line.
6) Slider:
Be sure the fabric isn’t torn and that the grommets are undamaged,
have no sharp edges and are securely attached to the slider. Be sure every sus-
pension line and both steering lines pass through the proper grommet on the slider.
7) Risers:
Be sure the barrels of the connector links have not moved and the
slider stops are properly positioned. No substitutes are authorized for PV slider
stops.
8) The toggles
must be installed correctly and match the guide ring and Velcro
on the risers. PV canopies come with brake settings and toggle tie-on marks set for
PIA standard riser/brake dimensions. This standard calls for 4 inches (10.2 cm)
from the top of the riser to the top of the brake-setting ring. If the risers are more
than 1 inch or (2.5 cm) different from this standard the canopy must be modified.
This modification may only be done by a master rigger and must be reported to
Per-
formance Variable . In addition, any changes must be marked on the canopy's data
panel.
9) The rest of the assembly:
Follow the instructions in the rig manufacturer’s
owner’s manual to inspect the rest of your parachute system.
