NAVAL AVIATION MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FORMS |
When a parachute (canopy) has been retired
because its total service life has expired, the record
may be destroyed. Subassemblies for which the
total service life has not expired may be salvaged
for future use. Appropriate service life in-
formation is transcribed to an Aircraft Equipment
Condition Tag (NAVAIR-2650) and attached to
the salvaged items if they are to be reused. Under
no circumstances should a salvaged item be reused
if its previous history cannot be firmly established.
CANOPY DAMAGE CHARTS
Whenever a canopy is inspected and found to
need repairs, an appropriate Canopy Damage
Chart must be filled out. An example of this chart
is shown in figure 1-15. The symbols to be used
are shown on one side of the chart. As each defect
is repaired, you write the letters “OK” in the
section representing the respective gore. If repairs
cannot be made locally, the chart goes with the
Figure 1-15.—Canopy damage chart for 28-foot diameter canopy (page 2).
