Reserve Repack & Safety Workshop

Know Your Gear, Trust Your Reserve

From 150 New Zealand dollars
Para Clinic HQ

Service Description

Get hands-on with your reserve. Understand your equipment. Be prepared. Your reserve is one of your most important pieces of safety equipment. This practical workshop helps pilots become more familiar and confident with the reserve system they actually fly with. Rather than simply having your reserve repacked, you'll work through the process under guidance, learn how your system works and understand what happens if you ever need to deploy it. What You'll Learn • How your reserve system works • Reserve deployment and extraction • Your reserve, deployment bag and deployment system • Correct reserve repacking procedures • How your reserve connects to your harness • Pre-flight checks and considerations • What to expect following a reserve deployment • How to build familiarity and confidence with your emergency equipment Who Is It For? Suitable for pilots wanting to learn or refresh reserve repacking skills, better understand their emergency equipment or improve their preparedness before flying. No previous reserve repacking experience is required. Workshop Format Small-group, hands-on sessions with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. Bring your own reserve and harness system so you can work with the equipment you actually fly with. Pricing $185 per person — 1–3 participants $150 per person — 4+ participants Workshops are scheduled throughout the season based on demand. Want to Join? No fixed dates are currently scheduled. To register your interest, request a workshop date or ask a question, please contact us through the Para Clinics Contact page. If several pilots are interested, we can also arrange a workshop for your group. FREE Emergency & Safety Talk Our FREE Emergency & Safety Talk Night covers emergency preparedness, active flying, reserve systems, deployment and what to do when things don't go to plan. The Safety Talk is not a reserve repack workshop and does not include hands-on repacking. Visit the Events page for upcoming dates and registration information. Important: Reserve systems are safety-critical equipment and must be maintained and repacked according to manufacturer requirements. Pilots remain responsible for ensuring their reserve system is correctly maintained, installed and airworthy before flight.
