USPA SKYDIVING A LICENSE (2024-2025) EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
How does wind affect the glide path of the canopy? -
<<,Answers>>>1) The glide path with become steeper as the
wind speed decreases when flying with the wind.
2) The glide path will degrade (become steeper) as the wind
speed increases while flying into the wind
Why is it important to remain clear of the area directly above
and below others jumpers in free-fall? - <<,Answers>>>To
guard against possible collisions due to accidental canopy
activation or sudden fall rate changes
When freeflying, a jumper should - <<,Answers>>>1) Use
proper equipment that provides adequate pin and bridle
protection, regardless of orientation to the ground
2) Have a rig equipped with an automatic activation device
(AAD)
3) Wear at least one audible and one visual altimeter
Below 10,000 feet, a jumper must maintain how much
horizontal separation from the clouds? - <<,Answers>>>2,000
feet
, Right after deployment, you see another skydivers very close
and flying directly at you. The correct response would be -
<<,Answers>>>Both jumpers should steer to the right
Who is responsible for a jumper observing cloud clearance
requirements? - <<,Answers>>>1) The Jumper
2) The pilot
What are the minimum visibility requirements below 10,000
feet? - <<,Answers>>>3 Miles
What is the quickest and safest way to change heading
immediately after opening the parachute? -
<<,Answers>>>Pull down on one rear riser with the brakes
still stowed
What is the correct response to a canopy entanglement with
another jumper below 1,000ft if it appears the two canopy's
cannot be separated in time for a safe landing? -
<<,Answers>>>Communicate with the other jumper and
deploy the reserve canopy without a cutaway
Why is it important to look ahead during a freefall swoop
approach toward other jumpers in freefall? -
<<,Answers>>>To keep other jumpers in sight and help
gauge the swoop
