What are riggers charging to perform this test? I am just trying to calculate how long it will take to recoup the $3500 investment. There seem to be very few of these units (1200j) in my area that require this test. But I don't mind making the investment to open this service up to them, even if that means a 15 year amortization rate. I am all for making a system that will work well. But, I would think that this test system has to be pretty darn accurate. I have not performed this test before, so am not real clear on the exact procedure. But I would think that the measurement would need to be closer to +/- a couple of feet, and not +/- a couple of hundred feet. From what I am seeing in the posts here, the home units aren't really calibrated to an exact measurement. Isn't this required from the manufacturer in regards to the test?

Where might one purchase a Portable Altitude Test Chamber to properly test Astra AAD's? I believe the requirement is that these devices (the 1200J, not the new style) must be tested on every repack. (I.E. During every repack of the parachute, a functional test is recommended on the ASTRA, using the Cutter-Test-Probe and the Portable Altitude Test Chamber.) Does anyone have a line on one of these test chamber units and their approximate cost? I am going to contact FXC, but figured I would check here first.

The problem really isn't the packing method. It should PRO Pack the same as most other canopies. The issue is the legality of having the manual on hand as per part 65. I figured that at least one of the UK riggers that reads this forum would have one on hand. But I am quite surprised that I haven't received any replies yet. In the mean time the client will have to wait to get his rig packed. Thanks for the input though. William Virginia Rigging Services William Linne Virginia Rigging Services

I am looking for a packing manual for a X-175 R / X- 210 R reserve by GQ parachutes in the UK. Thanks. William Virginia Rigging Services www.varigging.com William Linne Virginia Rigging Services
