USPA SKYDIVING B COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔Regarding the parachute harness chest strap: - ✔✔All answers are correct (it should
be fastened properly before boarding the aircraft; it can easily be misrouted if the

holders? - ✔✔2,500 feet AGL
✔✔According to the Basic Safety Requirements the maximum ground wind speed for B-
licensed skydiver is: - ✔✔Unlimited
✔✔Jumpers performing advanced canopy maneuvers into a common landing area with
jumpers flying a standard landing pattern: - ✔✔Are in violation of USPA Group Member
Pledge
✔✔When choosing to jump a smaller canopy, jumpers should be familiar with (on their
previous canopy)... - ✔✔All answers are correct (Flaring for landing from slow flight;
beginning to flare, turning to a 10 degree bank, and returning to a level wing before
landing; consistent, soft stand-up landings within 32 feet of a planned target in a variety
of wind conditions)

✔✔2,500 feet AGL
✔✔ What is the first priority of your pull priorities? - ✔✔Pull-you must deploy the
parachute
✔✔What is the second priority of your pull priorities? - ✔✔Pull at the proper altitude

stable

least amount of altitude.
✔✔What may result if a jumper is recovering altitude (floating up) under a freefall
formation? - ✔✔Collision with the formation
✔✔The minimum break-off altitude for belly-to-earth formation groups of five or fewer
during a daytime skydive should be at least: - ✔✔1,500 feet higher than the highest
planned deployment altitude for a group
✔✔When performing front riser maneuvers, what should you do with the steering
toggles? - ✔✔Keep them (steering toggles) in your hands
