a. Inspection. If defects or damages are discovered during Inspection of a parachute, the parachute
must be rigger-rolled and processed for maintenance. A rigger-type Inspection (refer to para. 2-13 c (2) and a
pack-in-process inspection must be performed in conjunction with each packing of a parachute (refer to para 2-
13.b).
(1) Rigger-type inspection. During the packing of each parachute, it must be given a rigger-type
Inspection by the packer In accordance with paragraph 2-13 c (2).
(2) Pack-in-process inspection. A pack-in-process Inspection must be performed by a designated
supervisory rigger, other than the packer, at seven intervals during the packing procedure. The inspection is
performed to assure that the parachute is packed according to authorized packing procedures (refer to para 2-
13).
b. Orientation. Throughout this manual, all directions (right, left, upper, lower, top, bottom, clockwise,
and counterclockwise) are given from the rigger's point of view, as the rigger stands looking from the tension
device toward the stationary post. See figure 2-8.
