Parachute Log Record. The Army Parachute Log Record, DA Form 3912, AFTO 391 is a history-type

maintenance document that accompanies the parachute canopy and pack tray assemblies through the

period of service of the individual assembly. 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

riser assembly upon receipt by a using unit. 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. A prepared log record

will not be removed or separated from a parachute, and especially a packed parachute, except as directed

by the local air delivery equipment maintenance activity officer.

A log record that is illegible, lost, damaged, soiled, or precludes further entries due to lack of space, will be

replaced upon the next repack or inspection, as applicable, with a serviceable item from stock.
