Reserve Inspection and Repack

This is the FAA required scheduled inspection and repack of the reserve/container. If you are not maintaining your 3-ring release, then we recommend including this every repack. This is a critical system which needs periodic maintenance to ensure it works flawlessly when needed. The container manufacturers recommend this be done on a monthly basis.

If you decided to have us repack you main at the same time, we will visually inspect the deployment bag, bridle, pilot chute and lower brake lines for common problems and report any recommendations. (We recommended a full main inspection at least once a year. A full main inspection is much more detailed and provides a full detailed report showing you the state of your canopy). A main inspection is required after a cutaway to ensure there is no damage.

IMPORTANT: We are more than happy to let you practice your emergency procedures when leaving your gear for a repack but ask that your gear is correctly stored in a gear bag after pulling to prevent any damage to the equipment and avoid additional expenses.

Any risers that have been left disconnected at the 3 ring will require a main repack to ensure they are not twisted. So. if you pull the cutaway and don’t want a main repack then ensure you correctly re-assemble the 3-ring release or we will perform 3-ring maintenance and a main repack.

A detailed record is kept of every repack including photos to document the repack and tools.

Main Inspection

While cutaways are rare, when they do happen a full main inspection should be performed to ensure that the main canopy is free of damage and good to go before repacking it up. But we recommend a main canopy inspection once a year to have a set of experienced eyes look in-depth at your canopy and ensure any small issues don’t become big ones. The inspection includes a detailed report.

A great opportunity to have some experienced eyes on your gear and take care of any small issues before they become big issues.

AAD Maintenance

If your AAD needs to be serviced then we can remove the unit, send to the manufacturer and reinstall upon its return. For Cypres units there is a +- 6-month window for servicing, so we can schedule this when you’re not jumping as much For Vigil units, they must now be returned to the manufacturer @ 10 years for a mandatory battery change. Temporary AAD may be available to keep you in the air while your AAD is being serviced, although we try to schedule this maintenance over the winter when the weather is not condusive to jumping.

Container Wash

Is your rig looking a little tired with ground in dirt?. Containers do get dirty and sweaty and this service can make a tired looking rig look years younger. This also makes your rig more appealing when you are wanting to sell your rig.

This requires full disassembly to wash the container and the price includes disassembly/reassembly and repacking of both canopies. So why not show your rig a little love at your next repack. (Typically, this takes a minimum of 1 week and should be scheduled when your due for a reserve repack)..

G3 Helmet cutaway

If you are mounting a GoPro camera on any helmet you need a was to easily release the helmet in the unfortunate situation that something becomes snagged. Unstable premature deployments, canopy collisions all can occur to the unsuspecting jumper and expecting something to break or you to be able to find and locate the clip when hanging from you helmet is not good plan. The cutaway allows the chinstrap to be rleased by a single pull of an easy to locate handle.

  • varies

Repair Broken / Missing Stitching

Sometimes stitching breaks and starts to unravel. Get it taken care off and repaired immediately to avoid further damage.

RSL Install

If you don’t have an RSL on your rig we highly recommend them. Almost every single jumper can benefit from having an RSL on their rig as an additional safety feature. An AAD is NOT a replacment for an RSL - they are complimentary safety devices.

Installation requires the reserve pack to be opened and outside of a reserve repack this can only be done by the rigger who packed your reserve without a need for a new repack. Your rig may already be set up for an RSL or may require modification to the container and/or main risers. Talk to us and we can get you set up with this important safety feature.

Lower Brake Line Replacement

One of the most common wear points on main parachutes is the lower brake lines. Every time you control your parachute you are rubbing this lower line against the guide ring. They fuzz up and weaken considerably much quicker than any other line on your parachute. Replaced as a pair.

  • 30 lowers only (Icarus)
  • 45 lowers and mid (PD)

Bridle Loop Repair

Take a look inside your deployment bag. The loops which attach your bridle to the deployment bag to wear out over time. If caught early this can be repaired which will save the expense of replacing a new bridle/pilot chute assembly which is much more expensive.

Canopy Reline

Main canopies last a long time but eventually the lines begin to wear out – in the PNW we would estimate 500 jumps for most Spectra/Vectran line sets. Spectra line sets can shrink sufficient to seriously effect canopy performance even before lines start breaking. Give your canopy a refresh and have a new manufacturer line set installed on your canopy. (There are many different line types and we can advise you prior to ordering the lines – typically allow 1-2 week from receiving lines from manufacturer). New slinks are required at reline (additional costs).

  • Expedite to under 48 hours from line set arrival – extra 30
  • 130 installation + cost of line set / slinks from manufacturer.

Deployment Bag repairs

There are many different types of repairs that we do on deployment bags. Dealing with issues early avoids more costly repairs later. Examples of this may be not addressing a damaged grommet which eventually tears the bag and requires patching and a replacement grommet.

  • Overstitching broken/missing stitches – from 20
  • Replace Grommet – from 20
  • Patching Bag – from 25
  • Binding Tape Repairs – from 20
  • Velcro replacement on free bag – 30

Rubber bands on your rig damage webbing. We replace elastics with the correct elastic keepers just like the manufacturer sent on your rig when it was new. These will minimize damage to the webbing.
