Parachute Repack at Ridgely, MD

Saturday and Sunday, November 1 & 2


This is a chance to repack your own chute, with advice and help from more experienced pilots if needed. You need only bring your own parachute, manual if you have it, and such things as packing weights if desired. Bungees, rubber bands, and general printed instructions will be provided along with tables and tensioning devices.

The tables and accoutrements will be available in one of the Highland Aerosports hangers during daylight hours and possibly part of the evenings throughout the weekend starting Saturday morning. Pack and fly as convenient.

NOTE: Though the Highland crew is hosting this event, they are not organizing it and need to concentrate on their normal flying activities. Please do not expect them to devote any time to either repacking or answering questions about repacking (they are naturally helpful and easily distracted: please don't tempt them away from making a profit). There is an abundance of knowledgeable pilots in our area who will be more than helpful.


Cost: $10 per chute per pilot, $5 each additional chute.
