Maintenance Log Record shall be maintained for each AR2 placed in service. a. Test results must be recorded on the local form (reproducible) contained in WP 0042 00. There is room on each form for three (3) test series. The interval between tests may be determined by the number of jumps (50) or by time since the last test (120 days), whichever comes first, or if there is a possibility that the AR2 was damaged or malfunctioned. b. Record Information as follows: (1) Record the AR2 serial number and date placed in service in the assigned spaces. (2) Record the date of the test and the cumulative number of jumps in the assigned blocks. The cumulative number of jumps is determined by taking the number of jumps since the last test (obtained from the Jump Log Record) and adding this number to the previous cumulative number of jumps. Note that when the unit is first placed into service, the cumulative number of jumps will be zero. (3) Enter the result of each test in the assigned space as the test is completed. If tests are repeated for any reason, such as an error in test procedure, record only the final result, but be sure to also record the total number of actuations. (4) Enter the cumulative number of actuations in the assigned block. The cumulative number of actuations is determined by adding the number of actuations in the just completed test, together with any actuation noted in the Jump Log Record since the last test, to the previous cumulative number of actuations. Note that when the unit is first placed into service, the cumulative number of actuations will be the total number of actuations completed in the In-Service test. (5) Note any unusual occurrences or conditions in the remarks space. (6) Enter the date and signature of the tester in the assigned spaces. 4. Installation of the AR2. Detailed instructions for installation of the AR2, AR2 pocket, and power cable assemblies are given in TM10-1670-287-23&P or service specific parachute packing manual. Change 1 0008 00-4
