2.4 Advanced packers
Description
This article is from the Skydiving FAQ, by Barry Brumitt with numerous contributions by others.
2.4 Advanced packers
may assemble and pack any reserve into any container with
any AAD provided that they have the relevant manuals and
safety notices to hand. Remedial work is restricted - my
guess is that if can be called assembly it is OK, if it is
installation it is not OK. Fitting a Cypres to a "Cypres
ready" conatiner is acceptable - installing the Cypres
pocket is not. Advanced packers may be required to sew
with a needle (e.g. pop tops, cutaway housing bindings),
but are not permitted to use a sewing machine.
Advanced packers may be cleared for either round or
square reserves or both. Additional endorsement by an
Advanced Rigger who has completed the Airtech course is
required to pack equipment fitted with a Cypres.
Advanced packers are required to get their rating renewed
each year - endorsement of their BPA membership
application is required by an advanced rigger or above.
