Rigging Prices??

[mccollumalan 0]

I have a question for the group.

I'm a retired parachute rigger from the Army and an FAA Master rigger. I'm finding myself getting more and more into the civilian side of parachute rigging with mostly reserve repacks, the occasional installation of an AAD and some basic patches and minor harness/container repairs here and there.

Do any of you maintain a list for services and how much you charge? Just wanted to make sure I'm in line with the current industry standard prices. You can reply here or email me at mccollumalan@gmail.com

Thank you.

Take a look at ChutingStar's prices: http://www.chutingstar.com/media/forms/CSRLServiceOrderForm.pdf They are a highly respected loft that helps set a lot of the prices.

I charge more than this for a repack ($75) since I will do a reserve inspection, and basic main inspection as well as all new closing loops and minor other things at the same time. I also will not pack a main anymore at the time of a repack.

I'll Bite. My prices are copied and pasted. Recently raised them to help pay off my Brother KE430 Bartacker.

Honestly, there are a lot of little services ($10-$20 jobs ) I don't charge for. If I'm at the DZ and someone needs help hooking up a canopy or if someone asks me to check their main on a repack. I figure little things like this make it that much easier for people to make me their regular rigger.
