Parachute value

[Groundbound 0]

Friend wonders if there is a formula or online calculator to figure the value of a parachute; it a sit-on for pilots.
Thanks

There is no set value, it all depends on the condition, age, care, type and manufacturer.

A new rig that's been drug across a couple runways is IMO less value than a 4-5 year old rig kept in pristine condition.

Hi G-b,
If it's the one that Airtwardo's aerobatic pilot buddy wore on the night of that fatefull, inverted, fuel leak flight, probably not much. Read the story in scary stories over in H & T forum.

Some of those have a limited lifetime, specified by the manufacturer, so the Date Of Manufacture is very important here.
