Section 2: Equipment • Chapter 3 - Packing the Reserve w/ Skyhook 11301 - 00.00.0000
Make sure that the Skyhook is sewn to the
reserve freebag bridle correctly, with the
pointed end of the hook facing toward the
bag. If the Skyhook were sewn on the bridle
facing the wrong way, a reserve pilot chute in
tow would result if the reserve were pulled in
response to a main total. (This pilot chute in
tow could be cleared by pulling the yellow tab
to release the RSL.) Remember, this
malfunction can only occur if the Skyhook is
SEWN to the bridle incorrectly. It cannot be
caused by a packing error.
S-fold the 7-foot section of freebag bridle (up
to the Green flex-tab) under pilot chute kicker
flap #1, in the normal manner. Close flap #2,
and secure with the reserve closing loop and
temporary pin. Make sure the remaining
bridle exits the closed kicker flaps to the
wearer’s LEFT (Right in photos) of the #2
(upper) flap, with the flex-tab side up.
Attach the RED Skyhook lanyard to flap #2 by
folding the stiffened section of the lanyard in
half, and inserting it completely into the RED
pocket on the flap. You may have to open the
pocket a little with a pencil before inserting
the flex-tab.
