Hi, I'm currently working at columbus AFB and we are having trouble finding out some info on how exactly these LaMoigne slots work on the chutes used for some of the aircraft. any help would be great.
We are trying to figure out if the LeMoigne slots on canopies are always open (as in when they are packed) or if they are closed and get released when pulling the steering toggles (sort of like how a lot of ram air chutes are packed at 50% brakes).
Sorry if this is not the place to ask this question. I have 580 jumps but all on ram air canopies so I really have no idea how these slots are meant to work. We are to figure this out so we can explain it to the pilots so they know what to expect. Thank you for any help.
Blue Skies...
