Splicing Is a procedure used to repair lengths of cord, tape, or webbing on airdrop items. For clarity, the term "splicing" as used in airdrop equipment publications refers to procedures such as drawing a cord length end into a cord length body, laying a cord length alongside another cord length, or the placing of a length of tape or webbing lengthwise over another length of tape or webbing. In most instances, a splicing procedure is completed by securing the cord, tape, or webbing, as applicable, with stitching. i. Parachute Connector Link Assemblies. The three types of parachute connector link assemblies used on airdrop equipment are the L-bar, U-bar, and quick-fit (Figure 2-5). The L-bar connector link is the most common of the three link assemblies and has no restrictions on use. However, the U-bar and quick-fit connector link assemblies do have limited application for use of US Army airdrop equipment. The U-bar connector link assembly will only be used on cargo type airdrop items, which includes cargo parachutes. The quick-fit connector link assembly is limited for use on emergency-type personnel parachutes only. A damaged parachute connector link assembly will be repaired or replaced using the following procedures, as applicable (1) Repair. (a) Cleaning. Remove burrs, rough spots, rust, or corrosion from a parachute connector link assembly by either filing with a metal file (Item 6, Appendix E) or buffing with a crocus cloth (Item 3, Appendix E). (b) Replacing a Locking Screw. Replace a damaged or missing locking screw on a parachute connector link with a serviceable item from stock. 2-17
