To conserve time and labor, and to avoid evacuation to an intermediate maintenance activity, unit/detachment commanders may designate, in writing, rigger personnel to accomplish classification inspection of average air delivery equipment. f. Inspection Function Requirement. Normally, a technical/rigger-type inspection will be per- formed by air delivery equipment maintenance personnel at a packing, rigging, or repair activity. The Inspection of initial receipt items will be performed as a separate function from packing or rigging activity, the Item to be inspected will be placed in proper layout on packing table or suitable sized floor area. Should defect or damage be discovered at any point during the inspection, the inspection will be terminated and the applicable item will be processed and forwarded to repair activity. The repair activity, in turn, will conduct a technical/rigger-type inspection that will be performed by only those parachute rigger personnel cited in AR 750-32. Any defect discovered during a unit level repair activity inspection which exceeds the capability of that activity will require the affected Item to be evacuated to an Intermediate maintenance function for further determination of economic repair and total repair accomplishment, if applicable. 2-8
