In order to become a Master Parachute rigger, the Senior rigger must accrue three years of experience, complete a total of 200 reserve pack jobs, and is required to take an oral and practical test.
We have a full-service parachute rigging loft with several Senior and Master riggers to help take care of our jumper’s reserve parachute packing needs. On-site rigging is an amenity that just can’t be beat. Our customers can skydive confidently knowing a host of able-minded, certified FAA riggers call our rigging loft home.
According to the Parachute Rigger Senior/Master Certification Guide issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, an individual who is certified as a Senior Parachute Rigger may pack and maintain the type of parachute for which s/he is rated.
The Master Parachute Rigger can pack, maintain, and/or alter the type of parachute s/he is rated for and may also supervise other individuals as they pack, maintain, or alter the type of parachute which s/he is rated for.
FAA Parachute Riggers are a staple at any dropzone. This is because each and every reserve parachute used in skydiving operations must be inspected and repacked every 180 days. This is known as a repack cycle.
