Static Line Levels

Recommended Posts

This is listed on the A license proficiency card and it's on USPA's website:

http://www.uspa.org/publications/forms.htm#licenses


If you don't have it yet, get a copy of "The Skydiver's Handbook" by Dan Poynter & Mike Turoff. This book also contains the card, but the USPA site will contain more up to date license information.

One example (this is how it is done at the DZ where I learned)

FJC with first static line
4 x SL Jumps, the latter ones with practice pulls
1 x 5 second delay (stable exit, stable deployment)
3 x 10 second delays (stable exit, stable freefall, stable deployment)
2 x 15 second delays (turns, maybe tracking? can't remember)
3 x 45 second delays (instability drills - front flips, back flips, barrel rolls, demonstrate ability to recover from instability, tracking).

There's canopy stuff on each of those levels, too, and you work on different exits as you progress. Spotting comes somewhere in there, I just can't remember where.

Cleared for solo, then you do solos and coach jumps to finish up what's on the A license card. And of course each has associated ground training and learning objectives.

Here's a "guideline" for the S/L progression. Here again... It's what category you're in that's important.

Edit: Now, having said that, with the number of jumps you have, you're using the Integrated Student Program (ISP), so your Instructors can evaluate your progression within categories. You "may" have to do 2-3 S/L jumps while doing DRCP's, or... anyway, it can be tailored to your specific situation.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
