Description

This is the knowledge portion of getting your skydiving license. It takes a total of 25 jumps to get your license. Those 25 jumps are organized into 8 categories. (Category A through Category H.) Each category has different skills, knowledge and jump maneuvers that have to be passed before progressing to the next category. This course is intended to align with your jump progression at a local skydiving center. For example, Category C knowledge from this online course will align with Category C jump maneuvers and canopy flight. Almost every skydiving center in the US recognizes the United States Parachute Association (USPA) which administers skydiving licenses. The training in this course is based on the materials and categories provided by the USPA in the Skydiver's Information Manual (SIM). Each category is broken down into these key sections: Exit and Freefall, Canopy Flight, Emergency Procedures, Equipments, Rules and Recommendations, Aircraft and Spotting. This course is conducted by a UPSA Instructor, Certified Flight Instructor, FAA Senior Parachute Rigger and Commercial Airplane and Hot Air Balloon Pilot.

This online course is intended to support the training you receive at a local skydiving center. Each skydiving center has their own training program. I created this course to provide the ground school information needed to progress through each category.

Who this course is for:

• First time solo skydiving student or any student progressing towards their A-License.
