The UPT Vector III Sport Main Pilot Chute & Bridle is a factory-built main deployment assembly from United Parachute Technologies (UPT), designed specifically for Vector III Sport container systems. It plays a central role in the deployment sequence by generating the correct drag to extract the deployment bag and initiate clean canopy deployment.

This assembly is available in multiple fabric types, sizes, bridle lengths, and handle options, allowing it to be configured to match different deployment styles, freefall speeds, and packing preferences.

Pilot Chute Fabric Options

ZP (Zero-Porosity):
- Higher drag for a given size
- More consistent performance over time
- Packs slightly bulkier than F-111
- Commonly selected for terminal deployments and higher-speed configurations
F-111:
- Lower bulk, softer pack volume
- Gradually loses porosity over time, increasing drag
- Often chosen for subterminal or low-speed deployments
- Easier to pack into smaller pilot chute pouches

Pilot Chute Size and Drag

Pilot chute size directly affects extraction force and deployment speed. Correct sizing depends on container configuration, canopy type, and deployment profile. All sizes are built to UPT’s calibrated drag specifications for Vector III Sport systems.

Bridle Options

Standard Sport Bridle Length:
- Optimized for Vector III Sport container geometry
- Provides predictable extraction timing and clean routing
Wingsuit Bridle Length:
- Extended bridle designed to reduce pilot chute hesitation
- Improves airflow exposure during wingsuit deployments
- Helps ensure reliable extraction in disturbed air

Bridle construction includes reinforced attachment points and stiffness matched to UPT deployment architecture.

Handle Options

The pilot chute can be configured with different handle styles to suit personal preference and deployment method, including:

Hackey handle
Freefly pud / low-profile handle
Other UPT-approved handle styles depending on configuration

Handle choice affects grip security, snag resistance, and ease of access from the pilot chute pouch.

Compatibility and Configuration

Designed exclusively for UPT Vector III Sport container systems
Must be matched to container size and manufacturer configuration
Available in multiple factory configurations to suit different deployment styles

Maintenance and Safety Notes

Installation or configuration changes should be performed or verified by a qualified rigger
Regular inspection recommended for fabric condition, stitching, bridle routing, and handle security
Pilot chute fabric type and bridle length should be selected to match the intended deployment profile

This is original UPT manufacturer equipment, supplied to meet Vector III system design requirements and certification standards.
