- ANSWER 5,000 ft AGL 10) Night jump safety briefings should take place - ANSWER Immediately prior to the intended night jump 11) Canopy formation skydiving - ANSWER Should include a hook knife on each participant 12) What is the recommended minimum breakoff altitude for free fall groups of five or fewer? - ANSWER 1,500 feet above the highest planned deployment altitude 13) What is the danger of entering a toggle turn too quickly? - ANSWER line twist 14) How can you avoid the propeller(s) while approaching an airplane? - ANSWER approach only from the rear and behind the wing 15) What is the biggest danger of a hard toggle turn near the ground? - ANSWER 1) Line twist 2) Hard landing while still in a turn 3) Collision with other jumpers 16) What should be your first response in the event of a canopy collision and entanglement with another jumper? - ANSWER check altitude and communicate with the other jumper 17) What should you pay attention to when closing a main container equipped with a hand deployed pilot chute? - ANSWER 1) Bridle routing 2) Closing loop tension 3) Flap order 18) When the brake system uses Velcro, why is it a good idea to place your toggles back on the Velcro after you land? - ANSWER To prevent wear and tear on the lower steering lines 19) According to the FAA regulations, who may pack a main parachute? - ANSWER 1)A parachute packer under the direct supervision of a certified parachute rigger 2)A certified parachute rigger 3)The person making the next jump with that parachute 20) Above 10,000 feet, a jumper should maintain how much horizontal separation from the clouds? - ANSWER One mile 21) Why is it bad to leave a parachute in the sun? - ANSWER Ultraviolet rays will damage the nylon and weaken the material 22) How do you calculate the wing loading of a canopy? - ANSWER Divide the jumpers weight (including all equipment) by the square footage of the canopy 23) Who publishes and enforces rules regarding parachute packing and parachute maintenance? - ANSWER The FAA 24) Before jumping with any type of camera system, USPA recommends: - ANSWER 1) At least 50 recent jumps using the same parachute system to be used with the camera 2) At least a C license 3) Above average free fall skills 25) How does wind affect the glide path of the canopy? - ANSWER 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 26) Why is it important to remain clear of the area directly above and below others jumpers in free-fall? - ANSWER To guard against possible collisions due to accidental canopy activation or sudden fall rate changes 27) 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? - ANSWER Communicate with the other jumper and deploy the reserve canopy without a cutaway 28) Why is it important to look ahead during a freefall swoop approach toward other jumpers in freefall? - ANSWER To keep other jumpers in sight and help gauge the swoop 29) What is the fastest way to slow down from a freefall swoop approach? - ANSWER Drop your knees and cup your shoulders 30) What is one danger of a loose or worn main container closing loops? - ANSWER A horseshoe malfunction 31) Why must a 3 ring release cable be cleaned periodically? - ANSWER To prevent dirty sludge like coating from developing on the cables over time that can create a hard pull 32) If you see that you have begun a turn too low to the ground for a safe landing, what should be your first response? - ANSWER Pull both toggles to flare the canopy and neutralize the turn 33) What effect does pulling on both of the front risers have on the canopy? - ANSWER 1) Increased forward speed 2) Increased descent rate 34) When performing front riser maneuvers, what should you do with the toggles? - ANSWER Keep them in your hands 35) What is the first priority of your pull priorities? - ANSWER Pull-you must deploy the parachute 36) What is the second priority of your pull priorities? - ANSWER Pull at the proper altitude 37) What is the third priority of your pull priorities? - ANSWER Pull at proper altitude when stable 38) You should check your altitude every time you... (3 things) - ANSWER All are correct (5 seconds have passed, you complete a task, encounter difficulty) 39) What is the first priority of your landing priorities? - ANSWER Land with the wing level
