b) Follow the pilot's instructions on each jump.
c) Remain as close to the pilot as possible. - CORRECT ANSWER a) Remain forward
until it is time for their group to exit.

a) See and remain clear of other jumpers.
b) Spiral quickly so that you are the first jumper landing.
c) Stay in brakes so that you are the last jumper landing. - CORRECT ANSWER a) See
and remain clear of other jumpers.
4) How does the RSL work?
a) Activates a small explosion which cuts the reserve closing loop.
b) Prevents main canopy from being cut away.
c) Forms a separable link between the main riser and reserve ripcord so that cutting
away the main activates the reserve, if the RSL is hooked up. - CORRECT ANSWER c)
Forms a separable link between the main riser and reserve ripcord so that cutting away
the main activates the reserve, if the RSL is hooked up.
5) What would happen if the main riser attached to the RSL breaks?
a) The reserve deploys into the main.
b) The reserve deploys with the main still attached by the other riser.
c) The main remains attached, creating a two-out situation. - CORRECT ANSWER b)
The reserve deploys with the main still attached by the other riser.
6) What is the best way to prevent risers from breaking?
, a) Inspection and maintenance; correct packing, tight line stowage, and stable
deployment, all to prevent hard openings.
b) Replace risers every year.
c) Remind your rigger to inspect at every reserve inspection and repack. - CORRECT
ANSWER a) Inspection and maintenance; correct packing, tight line stowage, and
stable deployment, all to prevent hard openings.
7) What is one way to prevent a dual deployment?
a) Initiate malfunction procedures high enough to cut away safely and avoid AAD
activation.
b) Deploy the main parachute at or above the AAD activation altitude.
c) De-activate AAD under canopy above AAD activation altitude. - CORRECT
ANSWER a) Initiate malfunction procedures high enough to cut away safely and avoid
AAD activation.
8) What is generally the best action to take in the following two-canopy-out scenarios:
Biplane?
a) Release the RSL (if time) and cut away.
b) Release the brakes on the dominant canopy only and steer that canopy gently; or
release the RSL (if time) and cut away; PLF.
c) Release the brakes on the front canopy only and steer that canopy gently; PLF. -
CORRECT ANSWER c) Release the brakes on the front canopy only and steer that
canopy gently; PLF.

b) Release the brakes on the dominant canopy only and steer that canopy gently; or
release the RSL (if time) and cut away; PLF.
c) Release the brakes on the front canopy only and steer that canopy gently; PLF. -
CORRECT ANSWER b) Release the brakes on the dominant canopy only and steer
that canopy gently; or release the RSL (if time) and cut away; PLF.
10) What is generally the best action to take in the following two-canopy-out scenarios:
Downplane?
a) Release the brakes on the dominant canopy only and steer that canopy gently; or
release the RSL (if time) and cut away; PLF.
b) Release the RSL (if time) and cut away.
c) Release the brakes on the front canopy only and steer that canopy gently; PLF. -
