Build a parachute rigger plan around RIG versus RMC code selection, original FAA Form 8610-2 authorization, PSI scheduling, FAA-CT-8080-4G supplement use, packing and inspection topics, AKTR review, and DPRE practical readiness.
FAA parachute rigger testing requires the right PSI code and the right authorization document. We verify RIG or RMC, prepare Form 8610-2 and appointment details, map rigger-specific study, and turn the written result into DPRE oral and practical preparation.
Rigger prep should begin with RIG or RMC code selection and original Form 8610-2 readiness, then connect written topics to DPRE practical expectations.
FAA parachute rigger knowledge tests are administered through PSI under RIG and RMC codes.
The current FAA matrix lists RIG as 50 questions, 2.0 hours, and a 70 passing score.
The current FAA matrix lists RMC Parachute Rigger Military Competence as 25 questions, age 17, 1.0 hour, and a 70 passing score.
Candidates should verify original FAA Form 8610-2 authorization before scheduling or arriving at PSI.
Parachute rigger candidates should confirm the correct PSI code and bring the FAA authorization document required by the matrix. The Form 8610-2 details must match the rating path and be ready for proctor review.
Preparation should cover parachute construction, packing methods, harness and container systems, materials, sewing and repair practices, inspection standards, recordkeeping, regulations, and equipment limitations.
The written test is not the endpoint. Missed AKTR codes should become a review plan for oral questioning, practical tasks, packing demonstrations, inspection scenarios, and Designated Parachute Rigger Examiner expectations.

FAA parachute rigger knowledge testing is administered through PSI. The current FAA matrix lists RIG Parachute Rigger with 50 questions, 2.0 hours, and a 70 passing score, and RMC Parachute Rigger Military Competence with 25 questions, age 17, 1.0 hour, and a 70 passing score. The FAA matrix lists original FAA Form 8610-2, Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application-Mechanic and Parachute Rigger, as the authorization document for both tests, with proctor review of the applicable blocks and FAA signature information. HiraEdu prepares candidates for PSI scheduling, Form 8610-2 readiness, FAA-CT-8080-4G supplement use, parachute systems, packing procedures, materials, inspections, repairs, regulations, AKTR review, and follow-through with a Designated Parachute Rigger Examiner.
RIG is the FAA Parachute Rigger knowledge test administered through PSI.
The current FAA matrix lists RIG as 50 questions with a 2.0-hour time allowance.
RMC is Parachute Rigger Military Competence.
The FAA matrix lists original FAA Form 8610-2 as the authorization document for RIG and RMC.
HiraEdu verifies the correct code and authorization document, organizes rigger-topic study, practices PSI timing, reviews supplement references, and turns AKTR codes into DPRE preparation.
Confirm whether the candidate needs the standard parachute rigger test or the military competence version.
Review the original authorization form, applicable rating blocks, FAA signature details, FTN, ID, and PSI appointment information.
Study systems, materials, packing, inspection, repairs, regulations, records, and FAA supplement references.
Use the AKTR to prepare practical tasks, oral explanations, packing workflows, and inspection scenarios before the examiner appointment.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
