E) 1,500 feet AGL, 1,000 feet AGL
Correct Answer: B) 2,500 feet AGL, 2,000 feet AGL
Rationale: The USPA Basic Safety requirements state that container
opening for C-licensed skydivers must occur by 2,500 feet AGL
unless waivered to a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet AGL.
Question 2
A USPA C-license holder who has not made a freefall within the preceding six
months should:
A) attend a complete first-jump course
B) make at least one jump under the direct supervision of a USPA
instructional rating holder
C) perform a clear-and-pull from 3,000 feet AGL
D) perform a static-line jump
E) simply review their logbook
Correct Answer: B) make at least one jump under the direct
supervision of a USPA instructional rating holder
Rationale: To maintain currency, a USPA C-license holder who has not
made a freefall within the preceding six months should make at
least one jump under the direct supervision of a USPA instructional
rating holder.
,Question 3
Below 10,000 feet AGL, each jumper must maintain at least how much
horizontal separation from any cloud?
A) 500 feet
B) 1,000 feet
C) 2,000 feet
D) one mile
E) 2 miles
Correct Answer: A) 500 feet
Rationale: Below 10,000 feet AGL, each jumper must maintain at least
500 feet horizontal separation from any cloud.
Question 4
According to the Basic Safety Requirements, the minimum radial distance
allowed from the center of the target to the nearest hazard for a C licensed
skydiver is:
A) 25 meters
B) 40 meters
C) 50 meters
D) 75 meters
E) 100 meters
Correct Answer: C) 50 meters
Rationale: The minimum radial distance allowed from the center of
the target to the nearest hazard for a C licensed skydiver is 50
meters.
Question 5
Before attempting any advanced landing maneuvers under canopy, each
jumper should:
A) practice the maneuver above 2,500 feet AGL
B) use another canopy in the air as a visual reference point to judge the
altitude loss with each turn
,C) both a and b
D) neither a nor b
E) practice them only on clear days
Correct Answer: A) practice the maneuver above 2,500 feet AGL
Rationale: Before attempting any advanced landing maneuvers under
canopy, each jumper should practice the maneuver above 2,500 feet
AGL to ensure sufficient altitude for recovery if a mistake is made.
Question 6
When choosing to jump a smaller canopy, jumpers should be familiar with
(on their previous canopy):
A) flaring for landing from slow flight
B) consistent soft, stand-up landings within 10 meters of a planned target in
a variety of wind conditions
C) beginning the flare, turning to 10 degree bank, and returning to a level
wing before landing
D) all of the above
E) only flaring for landing
Correct Answer: D) all of the above
Rationale: Before downsizing to a smaller canopy, jumpers should be
familiar with flaring for landing from slow flight, consistent soft,
stand-up landings within 10 meters of a planned target in a variety
of wind conditions, and beginning the flare, turning to a 10-degree
bank, and returning to a level wing before landing.
Question 7
According to SIM Section 6-10, any parachute smaller than 150 square feet:
A) is considered advanced regardless of wing loading
B) is considered advanced only if above a 0.9:1 wing loading
C) is considered advanced only if above a 1.1:1 wing loading
D) is considered advanced only if above a 1.3:1 wing loading
E) is considered intermediate regardless of wing loading
, Correct Answer: A) is considered advanced regardless of wing loading
Rationale: According to SIM Section 6-10, any parachute smaller than
150 square feet is considered advanced regardless of wing loading,
due to its increased performance and demands on pilot skill.
Question 8
With aircraft flown into the wind for jump run, which exit order provides the
best chance for maintaining adequate horizontal separation between each
group of jumpers?
A) faster falling groups exit first, followed by slower falling groups,
wingsuiters, then tandems
B) slower falling groups exit first, followed by faster falling groups, tandems,
then wingsuiters
C) wingsuiters exit first, followed by faster falling groups, slower falling
groups, then tandems
D) tandems exit first, followed by faster falling groups, slower falling groups,
then wingsuiters
E) all groups exit simultaneously
Correct Answer: B) slower falling groups exit first, followed by faster
falling groups, tandems, then wingsuiters
Rationale: When flying into the wind for jump run, exiting slower
falling groups (like tandems and wingsuiters) first, followed by
faster falling groups, helps maintain horizontal separation as the
slower groups will be carried further downwind.
Question 9
Seat belts in an aircraft used for skydiving operations:
A) are required for jumpers only for take-off
B) may be from previous use in automobiles
C) should never be fastened together unless being worn
D) are only required to be used by pilots
E) are not required for jumpers
Correct
