Where is a door bundle typically hooked during parachute operations?

In parachute operations, a door bundle is typically hooked to the outboard static line. The outboard static line is positioned farther from the aircraft, allowing the bundle to exit the aircraft without interfering with the jumpers who are exiting simultaneously. This positioning ensures that the door bundle deploys safely and effectively, minimizing the risk of entanglement with parachutists or their equipment.

Hooking the door bundle to the outboard static line also helps maintain the organization of the payload and jumpers during the exit sequence, allowing each item to operate independently as intended. By using the outboard line, operators can ensure a streamlined process for both personnel and cargo, maximizing safety and efficiency during the drop.
