It is an industry standard best practice and can be found in most of the military and civilian documentaion. The word "thoroughly" as per the FAR's implies just that, and is not necessarilly an interval specifically specified by the manufacturer. I have known and worked with Ted Strong for over 20 years. He will tell you 8 hours minimum. Opening (fill) time of the canopy varies with moisture content of the fabric. Does it matter what the ambient humidity is? Florida can be 60%+ relative humidity and "airing" the chute might make it damper than a chute kept in it's container in Tonopah, Nevada, or other low humidity place. -- ----- change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |
