relined canaopy,,,first jump on new lines

[skydiver604 0]

Did a search and couldn't find any usable info,,,I just got my 230 Silhouette back from PD after getting it relined with 550 micro line. Is there any specific process I need to follow for the first jumps, I checked the PD website an couldn't find any info there either.

Point 1: Give the entire parachute a good inspection, including new canopy attachment points, line group lengths equal, riser attachment points. If you're not comfortable doing this, have your rigger inspect the parachute and lines and check the trim.

Point 2: 1st jump, make a high HnP. Test-fly the parachute.

Check the flare and stall points, is it flying straight, how does it feel in 1/4, 1/2 and full brakes. L & R turns good? Practice a few flares.

Poing 3: Your parachute was returned ready-to-go. Enjoy!

If you're using slinks and you've got a new set with the new lines, make sure you "set" them and/or install the slink hats so that the the tabs don't work their way outside the risers where they can snag things.

As with anything, if you're not sure what I mean when I say that, have a sit down with your rigger.
