Napoleon Skydiving Center: Level 3 - Release Dive

This is the last of the two jumpmaster levels. If things go well, your jumpmasters
will let go of you and you'll be skydiving unassisted for the 5-5 and pull.
Stay relaxed and maintain a good arch. Pay careful attention during the
pre-jump gear checks since you will soon have to know how to do one on your
own. Likewise begin observing the packing procedure. Under canopy you should
try a stall above 2000'. After you successfully complete this level, you
should become a USPA member by filling out the application provided at
manifest.
