DOCUMENTATION
One of the most important parts of the packing process is
the requirement to keep proper records. 14 CFR, section
65.131 specifies the information the rigger is required to
document. There are two forms of required records. The
first is the rigger’s logbook. While the exact format is up
to the rigger, there are commercially produced logbooks
available that provide space for the required notations.
The second required record is the parachute data card.
Both of these items have been addressed in Chapter 1—
Regulations and Human Factors.
There are several items of interest regarding the parachute
data card. In the past, the data cards usually had information
only for the identity of the parachute canopy, which
is the primary component of the assembly. In recent years,
with the growth of sport parachuting, this configuration is
no longer standard. With the proliferation of many makes
and models of canopies and harness and containers, and
the ability to interchange components, it is necessary to
document the harness and container as well. The data
card shown in Chapter 1, Figure 1-8 has multiple identification
spaces. With the widespread use of AADs, it has
now become necessary to document the information
required by the manufacturer such as the service cycle
and battery life. The newest cards have provisions for
this information.
With the ability to interchange components, what does
the rigger do when a reserve canopy is removed from an
assembly? Where does the data card go? This is a somewhat
gray area, but the common practice is for the card to
remain with the canopy. If the harness and container have
had work done that requires documentation, it may be
necessary for the rigger to fill out a duplicate card with
the appropriate notations as to the work done on the harness.
Riggers should make sure that they note that this
card is a copy of the original.
Finally, riggers are tasked with noting their name and
certificate number on the data card. In many cases, this
information is illegible. Riggers who take pride and
responsibility in their profession, and the work they do,
have no hesitation in letting the public know who did the
work. Accordingly, many riggers have a permanent ink
stamp with their name, certificate number, and seal symbol
that they use to stamp the card and then countersign
it. This is the mark of a truly professional rigger. While
the seal symbol is not required on the data card, it allows
anyone to check the signature against the seal on the
parachute.

Riggers are taught that there are three things necessary to
do a proper job: knowledge to do the work, the correct
materials, and the right tools. The job cannot be done correctly
without all three of these essentials. The right tools
include various types of sewing machines as well as a
wide variety of specialized hand tools.
The importance of learning the names and nomenclature
of rigging tools and equipment cannot be overemphasized.
Just as learning the language of a foreign country
allows an individual to live and operate efficiently within
a society, learning the language of the rigger allows new
riggers to operate and interact within their profession.
Without the necessary vocabulary, a rigger will not be
able to work with other riggers and, more importantly,
will not present a professional image to customers.
HAND TOOLS
A new senior rigger must acquire enough tools to pack and
maintain the types of parachutes for which he/she is rated.
In the course of training, the rigger candidate will be
exposed to various tools and individual rigging techniques.
Some riggers adhere to a minimalist philosophy and use as
few tools as necessary. This may initially consist simply of
a packing paddle, a pull-up cord, and a temporary locking
pin. With some types of parachutes, these may be all the
tools needed to pack them. Other riggers develop techniques
that utilize an array of tools designed to make the
job easier or the end result neater. Some manufacturers
have designed specialized tools to make their particular
parachute easier to pack and maintain. Each rigger will
develop a suitable technique and then obtain the tools to
support it.
In the past, the list of tools needed to pack and maintain
military surplus parachutes was limited. Since most military
parachutes were simply variants of the same canopy
designs, common tools could be used across the board. In
today’s high-tech world, some of these original tools are
