0011 00   TM 10-1670-287-23&P  a.  Log record/parachute inspection data pocket and form. As applicable, inspect the assembly log  record parachute inspection data pocket to ensure the Army Parachute Log Record (DA Form  3912), NAVWPNCEN or NAVWPNS CL 13512/11(Parachute History Record) is enclosed and  properly attached. Further, remove the log record from the pocket and evaluate the recorded  entries. Inspect and evaluate as follows:  0011 00-2  Change 2  b.  Assembly completeness. Ensure the applicable assembly is complete and that no components  (or parts) are missing.  c.  Operation adequacy. Check the item components and parts to ensure proper assembly, which  includes attachment and alignment, and that the assembled product functions in the prescribed  manner. Further, ensure that no stitch formation (or sewn seam) has been omitted.  d.  Markings and stenciling. Inspect each assembly and components for faded, illegible, obliterated,  or missing informational data and identification numbers.  e.  Foreign material and stains. Inspect each assembly and related components for the presence of  dirt or similar type foreign material. Also check for evidence of mildew, moisture, oil, grease,  pitch, resin, or contamination by salt water.  2.  Detailed inspection. In addition to the overall inspection performed in 1., above, a detailed inspection  will be performed on the materials that constitute the assembly or component construction using the  following criteria, as applicable:  a.  Metal. Inspect for rust, corrosion, dents, bends, breaks, burrs, rough spots, sharp edges, wear,  deterioration; damaged, loose or missing grommets, safety pins, connector snap, eye hook, pack  fastener; improper swaging or welding; loss of spring tension; and missing or loose screws.  b.  Cloth. Inspect for breaks, burns, cuts, frays, holes, rips, snags, tears; loose, missing, or broken  stitching or tacking; and weak spots, wear, or deterioration.  The Army Parachute Log Record, DA Form 3912, and AFTO 391  are history-type maintenance documents that accompany the  parachute canopy and pack tray assemblies through the period of  service of the individual assembly. The log record provides a means  of recording maintenance actions performed on a parachute canopy  assembly. Normally, a log record is initiated and attached to a right  rear riser upon receipt by a using unit. However, if the item is  subjected to alteration or modification by a maintenance activity  during the interim period from date of manufacture to receipt by a  using unit, the log record will be prepared by the activity performing  the maintenance function. Once initiated, a log record will be  attached to, and contained in, an affixed parachute log record/  inspection data pocket, until such time as the parachute canopy  assembly is destroyed or rendered unfit for further use or repair. Additionally, should an item that requires a log record, be  transferred from one unit to another, the log record for the parachute  assembly will accompany the item in the transfer action. A prepared  log record will not be removed or separated from a parachute, and  especially a packed parachute, except as directed by the local air  delivery equipment maintenance activity officer. A log record that is  illegible, lost, damaged, soiled, or precludes further entries due to  lack of space, will be replaced upon the next repack or inspection,  as applicable, with a serviceable item from stock.
