Subscribe137-ft diameter parachutes in testing.
APPLICATION NOTE, G-11 SERIES:
The current usage philosophy is when using
1 through 8 canopies use G-11C
1 through 4 canopies, G-11B is permissible.
When using 5 through 8 G-11B canopies, more canopy damage is sustained because of greater opening shock.
