and Human Factors > Parachute Rigger Certificates
Parachutes intended for emergency use in civil
aircraft in the United States, including the reserve parachute
of a dual parachute system to be used for intentional jumping,
must be packed, maintained, or altered by a person who holds
an appropriate and current parachute rigger certificate. The
certificate is issued under Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 65, subpart F. These regulations do
not apply to an individual who packs the main parachute of a
dual parachute pack to be used for intentional jumping. These
regulations also do not apply to parachutes packed, maintained,
or altered for use of the Armed Forces.
Any person who holds a parachute rigger certificate
must present it for inspection if requested by the or an authorized
representative of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB),
or any federal, state, or local law enforcement officer. A sample
certificate is shown in figure 1-1. Administrator
