The log record provides a means of recording maintenance actions performed on a parachute canopy assembly. Normally, a log record is initiated and attached to a right rear riser upon receipt by a using unit. However, if the item is subjected to alteration or modification by a maintenance activity during the interim period from date of manufacture to receipt by a using unit, the log record will be prepared by the activity performing the maintenance function. Once initiated, a log record will be attached to, and contained in, an affixed parachute log record/ inspection data pocket, until such time as the parachute canopy assembly is destroyed or rendered unfit for further use or repair. Additionally, should an item that requires a log record, be transferred from one unit to another, the log record for the parachute assembly will accompany the item in the transfer action.
