(VERIFIED ANSWERS) |AGRADE

If the pilot chute extracts the deployment bag from the parachute

container (backpack) but the deployment bag fails to release the

parachute canopy for inflation, what is the correct response - ANSWERCut away and deploy the reserve

If part of the deployed parachute is caught on the jumper or the

equipment (horseshoe),what is the correct response - ANSWER- Cut

away and deploy the reserve

What are the three legs of the canopy landing pattern with relation to the

wind direction - ANSWER- Downwind (with the wind), base (across the

wind but downwind of the target), and final (into the wind)

Why is it undesirable to land off the end of a runway - ANSWERApproaching and departing aircraft

How would you address the following routine opening problem: Slider

stops halfway down - ANSWER- Pump rear risers or steering controls at

the bottom of the stroke while watching altitude to 2,500 feet

In flat and stable freefall at terminal velocity, how long does it take an

average jumper to fall 1,000 feet - ANSWER- 5.5 seconds

What is the correct procedure for recovering from instability to the

belly-to-earth position - ANSWER- Altitude, arch, legs, relax

Which is better, to pull at the planned altitude or to fall lower to get

stable before pulling - ANSWER- Pull at the planned altitude, regardless

of stability

What is the purpose of the wave-off before deployment - ANSWER- To

signal other jumpers

What is the purpose of the parachute landing fall (PLF), and why is it

important for skydivers - ANSWER- It protects against hard landings,

and all skydivers have hard landings

What part of the landing pattern is most dangerous to skydivers -

ANSWER- The intersection of the base and final approach legs

How do higher wind speeds affect the planned landing pattern as

compared to the pattern plan for a calm day - ANSWER- Shortens the

final approach, shortens the base leg, lengthens the downwind leg, and

places the planned pattern entry point farther upwind

In moderately strong winds, how far downwind of an obstacle would

you expect to find turbulence - ANSWER- 10-20 times the height of the

obstacle

What is the best procedure to use when flying your canopy in turbulent

conditions - ANSWER- Keep the canopy flying in a straight line at full

flight (or as directed by the owner's manual)

Why is it important to protect your parachute system operation handles

when in and around the aircraft - ANSWER- Keeps them in place and

prevents accidental or premature deployment

What is the equipment pre-flight strategy to use before putting on your

gear - ANSWER- Top to bottom, back to front.

How does the three-ring main canopy release system disconnect the

main parachute from the harness - ANSWER- Pulls the cables to release

the cloth loop

How do you know if a reserve parachute has been packed by an FAA

rigger within the last 180 days - ANSWER- Information found on the

reserve packing data card

How do you know the reserve container has not been opened since the

FAA rigger last closed it - ANSWER- Rigger's packing seal on the

reserve ripcord
