USPA A License Written Test
Above what altitude MSL is the pilot of an unpressurized aircraft required to be supplied with
supplemental oxygen? - ANS-14,000 feet
According to the BSRs, what's the modern day a student might also leap? - ANS-All scholar
jumps need to be completed by way of sunset.
At what altitude over the ground do aircraft input the visitors sample at your airport? - ANS-...
At your drop quarter, what's the lowest altitude the pilot might probably ask jumpers to depart
the plane all through a routine engine-out emergency? - ANS-...
Can a jump be legally crafted from an plane without an working radio? - ANS-no
Category B: Who have to immediately supervise your student schooling jumps? - ANS-USPA
Instructor rated for my discipline
Category C: In flat and solid freefall at terminal velocity, how lengthy does it take a median
jumper to fall 1,000 ft? - ANS-five.Five seconds
Category D: For deliberate deployment initiation at three,000 feet, about how lengthy should a
median-sized jumper fall after exiting at five,000 toes? - ANS-...
Category D: For deliberate deployment initiation at three,000 ft, about how long have to an
average-sized jumper fall after exiting at 5,000 toes? - ANS-15 seconds
Category E: What occurs to a jumper's fall price while acting rolls, loops, or other freeflying
maneuvers? - ANS-will increase
Category F: What is the high-quality manner to alternate the direction of the canopy flight while
maintaining the most altitude? - ANS-braked turns
Category G: What is the primary directional manipulate while shifting forward to dock in freefall?
- ANS-legs
Category H: Why is it vital to appearance beforehand in the course of a swoop towards different
jumpers in freefall? * - ANS-to peer others and avoid a collision
Describe an aerodynamic stall because it applies to a ram-air canopy. - ANS-stable state of
reduced flow and multiplied price of descent
, Describe the way to keep away from the propeller(s) when drawing close an plane. + -
ANS-Approach constant-wing aircraft from the rear.
Describe the "test of threes." - ANS-Check 3-ring launch machine for correct meeting and RSL;
three points of harness attachment for snap assembly or accurate routing and adjustment; 3
operation handles—most important activation, cutaway, reserve.
Describe the distinction among flaring from half brakes and complete flow. - ANS-Flaring from
half brakes calls for a faster stroke, the stroke is shorter, and stalls occur quicker.
Describe the device pre-flight strategy to use before placing for your equipment. - ANS-pinnacle
to bottom, lower back to the front
Describe the method for a difficult touchdown (PLF). - ANS-Student should display: toes and
knees collectively, arms and elbows in, roll on touchdown.
Describe the approach for figuring out the point instantly below the plane at some stage in leap
run. - ANS-Determine lines from the horizon, one beforehand and one abreast, and discover
the intersection of those traces.
Describe the three legs of the cover landing sample with relation to the wind path. -
ANS-downwind (with the wind), base (across the wind but downwind of the goal), and very last
(into the wind)
Describe your procedure for touchdown in power traces. - ANS-Avoid the region early at some
stage in the descent, minimum braked turn vital to avoid traces, land parallel to the wires,
braked touchdown, prepare for PLF, attempt to contact best one line at a time, look forward to
help and affirmation that the power has been became off and will stay off till recovery operations
are entire.
Describe your procedure for landing in trees. - ANS-Face into the wind, prepare for PLF, flare to
half of brakes, protect face and below hands, await assist.
Describe your manner for landing in water. - ANS-Inflate flotation tool, disconnect chest strap
and RSL, put together for PLF, face into wind, flare, keep breath, reduce away as soon as toes
are wet, eliminate leg straps, swim upwind; if under the canopy, dive deep and swim away or
follow one seam till out from below.
Describe your manner for touchdown on a building - ANS-Disconnect the RSL (if time), touch
the building feet first, PLF, cut away after touchdown on top of a building, watch for ready assist.
