To reduce this drag some pilot chute designs of the Pull-out and Throw-out variety are collapsible. Once deployment of the parachute has occurred a kill line running up the center of the pilot chute bridle becomes loaded. This kill line pulls down on the apex of the pilot chute collapsing it and greatly reducing its drag on the canopy. [5]
The Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS) is an American military airdrop system which uses the Global Positioning System (GPS), steerable parachutes, and an onboard computer to steer loads to a designated point of impact (PI) on a drop zone (DZ). The JPADS family of systems consists of several precision airdrop systems, ranging from extra ...
A main assisted reserve deployment (MARD) system is a skydiving safety device for parachute systems.

Extracting the pilot chute, while simple during the course of a normal jump, becomes a new challenge, because its location will have shifted due to the deployment of the main canopy. Skydivers may wish to practice on the ground deploying their pilot chute with the main canopy out of the container in order to gain experience with this procedure.
During this time, there were three types of Aerial Delivery companies; Aerial Supply, Parachute Maintenance, and Air Equipment Repair. The 601st Quartermaster Aerial Supply Company's mission was to train and execute heavy airdrop missions and conduct re-supply operations from airdrop platforms or containers, by lashing them to the inside of the ...
However, 14 CFR Part 105, [1] "Parachute Operations" regulates when and where jumps may be made and designates the requirements for parachute equipment and packing. For example, 14 CFR Part 105 (subpart C) requires the person packing either the main chute or the reserve parachute to be a certificated rigger , which means he or she has taken an ...
