Chapter 2—Design and Construction, described
the different types of canopy deployment devices. In some instances,
the container system needs to be of a specific configuration
to accommodate a certain deployment device. An example of this
would be where a round canopy utilizing a Type 1 configuration
is packed into a pilot emergency parachute system. In this case
the pilot chute is compressed directly onto the floor of the
container system. [Figure 4-49] This same canopy can be packed
into a sport reserve container, but the sport rig has two internal
or staging flaps that compress and hold the canopy in place
and are locked together by the bridle. [Figure 4-50] The pilot
chute is then packed on top of the internal flaps. The rigger
needs to know and understand these differences to determine
how the two components interface for compatibility.
