The PARACHUTE RIGGER HANDBOOK (FAA-H-08083-17), is the first new technical “how to” book since the revised Parachute Manual in 1991. The PRH is the FAA official rigger handbook written by Sandy Reid, Master rigger, DPRE and Course Director at USAPR. The PRH has been called “the New Testament in parachute rigging – a must have book.” The PRH is in full color consisting of 344 pages and is bound with a heavy duty plastic spiral. Riggers will find it extremely user friendly enabling the book to be opened to lay flat for easy access and reference. The PRH is a technical “hands on” book.

The handbook contains information on regulations and human factors, design and construction, materials, operations, inspection and packing, hand tools, sewing machines, the parachute loft, repairs, alterations, and manufacture.
