3.1 Canopy Compatibility
In order to determine whether a particular canopy is compatible with a
Softie harness/container assem-
bly, there are several requirements that have to be met. They are volume, deployment type, TSO certifi-
cation, and placard limitations.
3.2 Volume
The volume of a canopy is determined by using the standard Parachute Industry Association (PIA)
volume measurement as determined by PIA technical standard 104 in its most current edition. By cross
referencing this measurement to Para-Phernalia, Inc. Container Volume chart, section 3.5, compatibility
may be determined.

3.4 Optimum Canopy Selection
A large percentage of Softies are delivered Complete, packed and ready to use in your aircraft. However
because an FAA licensed Parachute Rigger is authorized to “mix and match” approved components,
there are many different parachutes which may be assembled with and which will fit in each of the many
styles and sizes of Softie containers offered by Para-Phernalia, Inc. The name of each Softie container is
based on the maximum allowable suspended weight of the canopy which best fits in that style and size.
Example: Back 240 assembled and packed with a Free Flight Enterprises - Preserve 1A provides opti-
mum pack density and has a maximum suspended weight of 240 lbs with a maximum deployment speed
of 150 knots.
1 cubic inch = 16.387 cubic centimeters
