to descend to the surface. 

Pilot chute means a small parachute 

used to initiate and/or accelerate de-
ployment of a main or reserve para-
chute. 

Ram-air parachute means a parachute

is impractical or use of the main para-
chute would increase risk. 

Single-harness, dual parachute system:

approved single person harness and 
dual-parachute container. This para-
chute system may have an operational
