At our dz I inow we go over the rig completely and take out the main to show how it comes off the back. And we have a hanging harness to practice cut always, this is a part of fjc we spend several hours talking about how you can die. Practice plf etc. so I just don't get how they can teach fjc and not go over the rig completely to include the aad. Surely we can not be the only dz that does that and review it before every jump.

we revised our fjc last year and this exact item was added and for each jump the student does, our overhead is printed out for this purpose and last season had much improved students and noticed we talked less on the radio to the students. and yes every once in a while there was always that one student that didn't get it but over all it was one of the best changes we made. loved the article and good to see we are on the right track.
