Equipment – Please note that the US Federal Aviation Administration does not have a reciprocity agreement to allow foreign skydivers to use their equipment as accepted by their own NAC. Unless the equipment has no components with a Technical Standard Order, the parachutes must be packed according to US Federal Aviation Regulations. This means packed by an FAA certified rigger, within 180 days, and with a seal on the reserve.
