[Land-speed] Chute Question..

[drmayf]

Just sitting here wasting my time surfing the net and decided to waste 
your time also, lol...  question relates to para 3.M.    says "*all 
chutes SHALL be opened during inspection*."  Now I have been in the tech 
line a few times and have actually only once been asked to launch the 
laundry.  And I don't remember seeing a lot of others released at that 
time either. I could read this another way  and that would be that the 
chute is opened and there for inspection but in a box or on the car or 
something for the inspectors to look at.  So what is the inspector 
looking for? A chute in good repair?  That it will launch when required? 
Or what. Last year I had the chute in a box on the car and nobody seemed 
to mind that it wasn't packed and no one asked me to do so... I like 
that method of inspection but what is correct? If it is to be opened 
using the chute release hen maybe some additional words to the 
paragraph?    SOmething like  " *all chutes shall be packed before tech 
inspection and released during that  inspection.*" Or words to that 
effect.
