Repack your reserve parachute for the 2024 season, with BHPA qualified re-packers (Tom from Wingtrim).
This is a guided group repack. During the session you will be asked to assist other pilots to repack their reserves and others will assist you to pack your own. One or more BHPA qualified packers will be in attendance to provide guidance, advice and assist where needed - the BHPA packer is not there to pack your reserve for you. It is vitally important that you are not late for the session start time. The BHPA packer will commence the session with a brief demonstration of a typical repack. You may not be allowed to repack your reserve if you miss this demonstration. Once you have repacked your reserve you will be expected to stay for the remainder of the session to assist others. Before coming to the repack you must have thoroughly read the manufacturers packing instructions for your reserve. Bring a copy of these instructions with you. You should do the same for instructions regarding the fitting of the reserve to your harness
There will also be a chance to check the porosity of your main wing - £5 (payable on the day).
