Quote:
Fabric permeability must be tested if any of the following events occur: The canopy is completely submerged in water. 25 jumps have been made on the canopy since it was new or last certified. The canopy has been repacked 40 times since it was new. The canopy has an unknown number of jumps, repacks, or there is reason to believe that jumps or repacks were not properly logged. Flight performance appears to be substandard. There are other reasons to believe the fabric permeability may exceed specifications.
