iranianjumper 2 #1 Posted February 24, 2020 is there any limit on number of opening and/or flight time for a reserve canopy ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,486 #2 February 26, 2020 Depends on the canopy. PD says 40 repacks or 25 rides. Then it needs to go back to manufacturer for inspection & possible recertification. No clue about any other makers. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IJskonijn 44 #3 February 27, 2020 Usually, this can be found on the manufacturer website. Different manufacturers have different requirements (sometimes none at all). There's a talk on youtube by a British rigger that talks more about this, intermeshed with other stuff regarding inspections etc. I have never heard of reserve canopy lifetime being limited or dictated by actual flight time though, only based on amount of activations and/or repacks and/or age. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
