9、ion number. Automatic Activation Device means a self-contained mechanical or electro- mechanical device that is attached to the interior of the reserve parachute container, which automatically initi-ates parachute deployment of the re-serve parachute at a pre-set altitude, time, percentage of termin

14、ion, DOT 105.7 States using parachute equipment not manufctured in the United States. Freefall means the portion of a para-chute jump or drop between aircraft exit and parachute deployment in which the parachute is activated manually by the parachutist at the parachutists discretion or automati-call
15、y, or, in the case of an object, is ac-tivated automatically. Main parachute means a parachute worn as the primary parachute used or intended to be used in conjunction with a reserve parachute. Object means any item other than a person that descends to the surface from an aircraft in flight when a p
16、ara-chute is used or is intended to be used during all or part of the descent. Parachute drop means the descent of an object to the surface from an air-craft in flight when a parachute is used or intended to be used during all or part of that descent. Parachute jump means a parachute operation that
17、involves the descent of one or more persons to the surface from an aircraft in flight when an air-craft is used or intended to be used dur-ing all or part of that descent. Parachute operation means the per-formance of all activity for the purpose of, or in support of, a parachute jump or a parachute
18、 drop. This parachute op-eration can involve, but is not limited to, the following persons: parachutist, parachutist in command and passenger in tandem parachute operations, drop zone or owner or operator, jump mas-ter, certificated parachute rigger, or pilot. Parachutist means a person who in-tends
19、 to exit an aircraft while in flight using a single-harness, dual parachute system to descend to the surface. Parachutist in command means the person responsible fro the operation and safety of a tandem parachute oper-ation. Passenger parachutist means a person who boards an aircraft, acting as othe
20、r than the parachutist in command of a tandem parachute operation, with the intent of exiting the aircraft while in- flight using the forward harness of a dual harness tandem parachute system to descend to the surface. Pilot chute means a small parachute used to initiate and/or accelerate de-ploymen
21、t of a main or reserve para-chute. Ram-air parachute means a parachute with a canopy consisting of an upper and lower surface that is inflated by ram air entering through specially de-signed openings in the front of the can-opy to form a gliding airfoil. Reserve parachute means an approved parachute
22、 worn for emergency use to be activated only upon failure of the main parachute or in any other emer-gency where use of the main parachute is impractical or use of the main para-chute would increase risk. Single-harness, dual parachute system: means the combination of a main para-chute, approved res
23、erve parachute, and approved single person harness and dual-parachute container. This para-chute system may have an operational automatic activation device installed. Tandem parachute operation: means a parachute operation in which more than one person simultaneously uses the same tandem parachute s
24、ystem while descending to the surface from an aircraft in flight. Tandem parachute system: means the combination of a main parachute, ap-proved reserve parachute, and approved harness and dual parachute container, and a separate approved forward har-ness for a passenger parachutist. This parachute s
25、ystem must have an oper-ational automatic activation device in-stalled. 105.5 General. No person may conduct a parachute operation, and no pilot in command of an aircraft may allow a parachute op-eration to be conducted from an air-craft, if that operation creates a hazard to air traffic or to perso
26、ns or property on the surface. 105.7 Use of alcohol and drugs. No person may conduct a parachute operation, and no pilot in command of an aircraft may allow a person to con-duct a parachute operation from that aircraft, if that person is or appears to be under the influence of (a) Alcohol, or (b) An
