For USA Pilots: FAA is changing Parachute Repack Rule

[rlovinggood]

The SSA is announcing that the FAA is changing the parachute repack
interval from 120 days to 180 days, effective 19 DEC 08.

My computer wouldn't open the link from the SSA e-news, but I was able
to find the rule in the Federal Register at:

http://frwebgate3.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/PDFgate.cgi?WAISdocID=1255621525+0+2+0&WAISaction=retrieve

(If that doesn't work, I just used Google to search for "federal
register" and then I searched for "parachute repack").

Thanks to all that helped push this rule to be changed!
