On the modified hook pile tape lowering line, where is the blue strata mark located?

The blue strata mark on the modified hook pile tape lowering line is positioned 16-18 inches from the ejector snap. This specific placement is essential for jumpmasters and parachute riggers to ensure a consistent and safe lowering procedure during jumps. Correct identification of the strata mark helps in maintaining the appropriate distance for effective operation, allowing the jumper or load to be lowered accurately to the ground.

Having the mark within the 16-18 inch range ensures that the lowering line functions as intended, providing visibility for monitoring descent and allowing for easier management of the equipment. This precision is crucial for maintaining safety standards in jumping operations, making the knowledge of the correct distance vital for anyone involved in parachuting activities.
