There are a number of different ways to pack a parachute, but most focus on keeping the lines neat and in the center of the canopy, and on making sure the canopy fits in the bag!

CONT

You may pack a parachute on any relatively smooth surface, ideally a proper packing table or short dry grass, or simply a clean floor.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Parachutisme, parapente et deltaplane
CONT

Plier un parachute consiste en gros à organiser la toile et les cordes de façon à éviter les emmêlements à l'ouverture. Il faut donc porter attention à la continuité des suspentes, à centrer celles-ci dans le pliage et s'assurer de la symétrie du pliage.

CONT

The POD is a deployment device, similar to a bag, built to fit the container.

Lines are stowed on the outside of a deployment device. The last, usually two stows, lock the deployment device shut. Once the last two stows have payed out, the canopy extracts from the deployment device. Pioneer made a Para-Opening Device(POD) in the early 1970's. This device is very much like a deployment bag. A deployment device holds the parachute material that makes up the "canopy" part of a parachute.

English

Subject field(s)

One method for a first jump is the Static Line system. In this system the parachute is attached to the airplane frame. After you jump from the airplane, the static line opens your container and pulls up the parachute deployment bag.

CONT

Accelerated freefall has one major advantage over the static line system which is that the student is immediately exposed to the exhilaration of the freefall phase of the descent.

  • Parachutisme, parapente et deltaplane
CONT

La première technique de premier saut est le système de sangle d'ouverture automatique. Avec ce système, le parachute est attaché à la structure de l'avion. Après avoir sauté de l'avion, la sangle d'ouverture automatique ouvre votre sac et dégage le sac de déploiement du parachute.
