WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
1) What is the best way to change the direction of canopy flight while conserving the
most altitude?
a) Braked turns.
b) Rear riser turns.
c) Front riser turns. - ANSWERSa) Braked turns.
2) What happens if a canopy is controlled too deeply in brakes?
a) It dives.
b) It bucks.
c) It stalls. - ANSWERSc) It stalls.
6) When making tracking jumps from a large plane, why is it important to track
perpendicular to the jump run?
a) To stay clear of FAA controlled airspace.
b) To avoid other groups ahead and behind.
c) To avoid plane on its descent. - ANSWERSb) To avoid other groups ahead and
behind.
7) What is the ground speed of a jump aircraft with an airspeed of 90 knots when flying
against a 50-knot headwind on jump run?
a) 40 knots
b) 140 knots
c) 90 knots - ANSWERSa) 40 knots
3) Describe the difference between flaring from half brakes and full glide.?
a) Flaring from half brakes requires a quicker stroke, the stroke is shorter, and stalls
occur sooner.
b) Flaring from half brakes requires a slower stroke, the stroke is shorter, and stalls
occur sooner.
c) Flaring from half brakes requires a slower stroke, the stroke is longer, and stalls
occur sooner. - ANSWERSa) Flaring from half brakes requires a quicker stroke, the
stroke is shorter, and stalls occur sooner.
4) How does the half-braked position affect the canopy's flight?
a) Speeds descent, changes glide.
