Deliberate Malfunctions

Recommended Posts

I stow my brakes and uncollapse my slider immediately after landing, before I even daisy chain my lines. Whether I cock my pilot chute usually depends on the packer. Someone I know and trust, I don't bother; an unknown quantity - I might. I do pin checks after I get it back, definitely, and check for color on the bridle at that time.

Standard packer etiquette, at least here in Oz:

- lay rig out
- set brakes
- uncollapse slider
- cock pilotchute.

It saves the packer's time (handy when they've five rigs on a 20min call), and, not coincidentally, solves many problems that could result in a cutaway or serious injury.
