Parachute maintenance:
Paratechnics may carry out maintenance on and certify release to service for emergency parachutes and brake parachutes fitted to Warbird aircraft, under the terms of Certificate of Maintenance Approval No. 57169 issued by the New Zealand Civil aviation Authority (NZCAA). 

Under NZCAA rules, emergency parachutes should be repacked every 12 months, and this can be done by Paratechnics at our own facility, or at the client's own hangar - even by courier if necessary.
