3. Functions of the Container

3.1 Jumps with an Attached Container (Main Deployment Bag)
After the parachutist´s exit out of the aircraft with legs forward (this way is called
„a soldier“) and extension of the static line anchored inside an aircraft, the needle of the static
line opens the main parachute pack. Then the canopy that is folded in the container (main
deployment bag) is taken out of the container. The container is attached to the static line.

3.2 Jumps - Stabilized Fall

After the exit out of the aircraft with legs forward (this way is called „a soldier“) and
extension of the static line, the static line anchored with a snap hook at one side in the aircraft
becomes unlaced from the passes on the parachute container. After it is extended in full
length, the stabilization parachute is withdrawn from the container attached at the end of the
line. After the stabilization parachute is inflated and the connecting webbing is extended, the
parachutist becomes stabilized in a position slightly leant forward. After holding time, the
parachutist pulls the release of the main parachute out.
After lines are extended in full length, the container is slid off the canopy and the canopy
cells are gradually filled up with air.

3.3 Freefalls with a Manual Opening

After the exit out of the aircraft and after 3 seconds in minimum, the parachutist pulls the
release of the main parachute out.
Then the parachute container opens and the pilot chute pulls the container with a folded
canopy out of the container.
Suspension lines become unlaced from rubber loops of the container and the closing flap of
the container is released.
After the lines are extended in full length, the container is slid off the canopy and cells of the
canopy are gradually filled up with air.

3.4 Jumps with an Attached Pilot Chute

After the parachutist´s exit out of the aircraft with legs forward (this way is called
„a soldier“) and extension of the static line anchored inside an aircraft, the needle opens the
parachute container. Then the PV – 006 pilot chute is taken out of the container. The pilot
chute is tied to the stem at the end of the static line and to the deployment bag with the
canopy. After the system is extended, the tearing-off line with the strength of 450 ± 50 N
is torn up, the container is slid off the canopy and cells of the canopy are gradually filled up
with air.

Packing of the Container with an Attached Main Deployment Bag

The container (main deployment bag) with a folded and packed canopy and suspension lines
is placed into the main parachute pack with lines put on the bottom while the bottom edge of
the closed deployment bag is put near the bottom of the reserve parachute pack. There is a
folding of the bottom part of the main parachute pack made in the left corner. There the bag
is folded and is led to the bottom of the reserve parachute. Then it is folded again and led to
the right bottom corner of the main parachute pack. The last (third) folding is finished in the
centre of the pack at the bottom of the reserve parachute. The VL-025 L static line leading
from the attachment of the deployment bag goes from the left side across the central flap.
First the bottom and top flaps of the main parachute are fastened as well as both side flaps
(in the following order: first the left flap, then the right one). The needle of the static line is
pulled through the eye of the closing line. The static line is folded into rubber passes on side
flaps of the main parachute. The snap hook of the static line is hung into the pass sewn on the
top part of the right side of the parachute container.

10.2. Packing of the Parachute for Jumps - Stabilized Freefalls

During jumps with stabilized freefalls, the end of the static line with a snap hook is anchored
in an aircraft. The bag of the stabilization parachute is attached at the other end of the static
line. After the line is extended in full length, the stabilization parachute is taken out of the
bag. Due to air flow, the stabilization parachute is filled up and it stabilizes the parachutist in
a slightly leant forward position. After holding time the parachutist opens the pack of the
main parachute with the U-066 Ripcord Handle of the Main Canopy.
The stabilizer functions as the pilot chute at this moment and withdraws the deployment bag
with the canopy and lines from the pack. The lines become gradually unlaced from the
container passes and the canopy begins to fill up.

Packing of the Container for Jumps with an Attached Pilot Chute

The deployment bag is placed on the bottom of the main parachute pack with lines in the
bottom part of the pack. The knot of the canopy and the connecting line are then placed near
the bottom of the reserve parachute. Then the connecting line is folded on the deployment
bag. Before this step, the attachment of the tearing-off line with the strength of 450 ± 50 N is
carried out (this strength can be the result of summing smaller strengths of several tearing-off
lines). The attachment is led through the loops of the SS-043 connecting line, the PV-006
pilot chute and the static line. The VL-025 L static line leading from the attachment goes
from the left side across the central flap. First the bottom and top flaps of the main parachute
are fastened as well as side flaps of the parachute (in the following order: first the left flap,
then the right one). The needle of the static line is drawn through the eye of the closing line.
The static line is folded into rubber passes on side parts of the main parachute. The snap hook
of the static line is hung into the pass sewn on the top part of the right side of the parachute
container.
The length of the main parachute closing line from the knot is 35 ± 5 mm in maximum.

CHAPTER III.
Storage and Transportation of the Parachute
1. Preparation of the parachute for storage
Before the parachute is stored, its inspection must be carried out, if necessary its repair,
replacement of damaged parts and airing. The parachute is stored inside a portable bag either
packed (for 180 days in maximum) or unpacked. The parachute log-book is put into the
portable bag pocket.

2. Storage of the parachute

Before storing the parachute set carry out its check and the check of its completeness.
Before storing the parachute in the bag, fold the unpacked canopy of the main parachute in
the following way: smooth the canopy field, draw the slider with its intermediate part to the
canopy, roll the back part of the canopy on the front part (leading edge), and fold the canopy
from the top to the bottom edge. Braid the carrying line in a chain. Store the packed canopy
in such way that it is not in direct contact with metal parts. Put the parachute in the bag and
close the bag.
Put the parachute logbooks in the pocket on the portable bag.
Store the parachute set and all its parts in shelves in dry, dark, well ventilated room without
direct sunlight. The parachute sets must not touch the walls, floor, or heating units. Parachute
sets may be stored in shelves in two layers maximally. In rooms, where parachute sets are
stored, it is not allowed to store metal objects which do not belong to the stored parachutes,
nor oils, acids or substances evolving active gases. Smoking is forbidden here.
If the parachute set is stored for a longer period of time, it must be aired at least once in
6 months for at least 24 hours. Airing is done in shade.
The record of the carried-out airing is made in the parachute logbook.
During long-term storing of the parachute sets, these climatic conditions must be kept in the
storage rooms:
- temperature + 14 to + 25°C
- relative humidity 35 to 73 %

Storability of the parachute sets and their accessories in storage room is for their whole
operating life, when fulfilling the storage conditions above.
