Parachute Log Record - Niviuk Vital CIRES Manual

Stow the lower suspension lines in a "figure 8" pattern, securing
each loop end with a rubber band twisted in a figure "8". Keep the
suspension lines with the same length and equal tension.
7.13 CLOSING THE DEPLOYMENT BAG
Thread the closing loop attached to the deployment bag through
the last two flaps eyelets, numbers 3 and 4. Make a 3 cm loop
12
with the bunched lines, pushing it through the elasticated retainer
pod loop. The last 30-50cm of lines are left free. Make sure for
each bite (loop) of lines to be completely unobstructed to prevent
any possible entanglement and/or malfunction during the opening
sequence. (Image

7.14 TENSION TEST
Lifting the riser, check the force required to allow the lines to free
themselves from the pod's closing elasticated loop. This force
should be around 200g. and may be verified with a spring or digital
scale, if available.

Logging records provides means of tracking the scheduled mainte-
