G4 Owner’s Manual – 7 – Rigging Requirements

Within the United States or its territories

Within the United States or its territories, assembly and packing of the Mirage reserve parachute and its components must be accomplished by a certified and appropriately rated FAA Senior or Master Parachute Rigger who is familiar with packing ram-air sport parachutes.

In the U.S., your reserve parachute must be inspected and repacked by an appropriately rated FAA Senior or Master Parachute Rigger every 180 days.

Mirage recommends that the main parachute be assembled by an appropriately rated FAA Senior or Master Parachute Rigger.  See FAA Advisory Circular 105-2E for guidance on who may pack the main parachute.

Outside of the U.S.

Outside of the U.S., assembly and packing of either parachute must be accomplished by a rigger holding an appropriate rating equivalent in training and experience to an FAA Senior or Master Parachute Rigger, as required by the governing regulations in the country where the assembly and packing takes place.

Outside the U.S., follow the regulations governing how often a reserve parachute must be inspected and repacked in the country where the repack takes place.   The reserve repack frequency may be extended up to, but no longer than, once annually (365 days).

Note

It is always a good idea to have a rigger inspect your Mirage between repacks if you have reason to suspect contamination, wear, or damage.
