USPA A license
describe how to avoid the propeller(s) when approaching an aircraft - Answer-approach fixed-wing
aircraft from the rear
who is responsible for seat belt use in the aircraft - Answer-the pilot and each jumper
when must deatbelts be fastened - Answer-during movement on the surface (taxi), takeoff, and landing
from who do you take directions in the event of an aircraft problem - Answer-my instructor
why is it important to exit on Go (or arch) - Answer-AFF and tandem students helps student and
instructors to leave at the same time. All students to leave at the right place over the ground
where does the wind come from intially upon exit from the aircraft - Answer-Ahead
why do skydivers first learn to fall stable face to earth ( think in terms of equipment ) - Answer-it is the
best position for deployment
what does a canaopy do immediately following a turn - Answer-it planes out
what are the landing priorities - Answer-land with the wing level and flying in a straight line
land in a clear and open area avoiding obstacles
, flare to at least the half-brake position
what is the purpose of landing flare - Answer-to convert forward speed to lift
solo students: describe the procedure for a hard landing ( parachute landing fall for PLF) - Answer-
student should demonstrate: feet and knees together, hands and elbows in, roll and landing
who must directly supervise your student training jumps - Answer-USPA instructor rated for my
discipline
what is your most important task when in freefall - Answer-altitude awareness to recognize and act at
the assigned pull altitude
what are the maximum winds in which any student may jump - Answer-10MPH for round canopy,
14MPH for ram-air reserve waiverable by an S&TA
how would you clear a pilot chute hesitation - Answer-change body position to modify the air flow over
my back
in the vent of a canopy problem, students should decide and act about executing emergency procedures
by what altitude - Answer-2500FT
how would you address the following routine opening problem: twisted lines - Answer-before releasing
the brakes, spread risers or twist risers to transfer line twist to risers, kick in opposite direction, watch
altitude to 2500FT
how would you address the following routine opening problems: closed end cells - Answer-pull toggles
to flare position and hold ( or pull down rear risers and hold ) and watch altitude. If stubborn determine
controllability with turn and flare by 2500FT
