The MC1-1B maneuverable parachute assembly is used primarily for a premeditated jump when a precision landing in a small target area is necessary. The basic canopy is the same as the T-10B assembly, except that there are orifices or cut-out areas in eleven (11) of the thirty (30) gores, creating a gliding type descent.

The canopy has two (2) control lines, each extending from an outboard orifice to toggles which may be manipulated in such a way as to make 360° turns. It has a 3-3/4 inches mesh anti-inversion net attached to the skirt of the canopy that extends 18 inches below the canopy skirt. When packed for service, the complete assembly weighs approximately 29 lbs, and has a nominal diameter of 35 feet and a projected or inflated diameter of 24.5 feet.
