Task Instructions
1. Guide the retaining strap through the mounts in the parachute bay. Use Velcro® tapes on the retaining straps to restrain parachute into parachute bay.
Figure 481. Securing Parachute Deployment Bag
2. The packed parachute is delivered from BRS with the pin tether and/or curved release pins installed in its grommet and loop as seen in Figure 482. If the relesae pin tether and/or curved release pins have been removed during installation or are not secured, they will need to be reinstalled and secured. If required, secure the pins with a “2 and 1 knot” using Type 2 GLAZED, 4 ply thread.
Note: 
Release pins are installed by BRS prior to delivery.
Figure 482. Curved Release Pin with Tether
The “2 and 1 knot” is a “surgeons knot” with two additional overhand knots in opposing directions, for added security. Perform the “surgeons knot”, pull taught, then make an “overhand knot” in the opposite direction, pull taught; then make a second “overhand knot” opposite direction to first “overhand knot”, pull taught. This is a very secure knot around curved release pins.

Note: 
Release pins are installed by BRS prior to delivery.
Pull the flap on the left side to cover the rocket collar line and the incremental harness and secure the flap using Velcro® along the top left edge of the parachute deployment bag.

Note: 
Items are secured under flap when system is delivered from BRS Aerospace. This step is identified in case the lanyard and incremental have been removed during system installation.
Verification Method
The procedure is complete when the parachute package has been properly installed and the parachute release pin and retention straps are secure.
