Q

Collision on exit

A
  • arch
  • gently push off with open hands (do not grab anything)
  • maintain stability
  • check handles and equipment
  • continue the free fall as planned
17
Q

Pilot cute over the nose and/or thru suspensions lines?

A
  • pull toggles for 100% brake position for 3-4 sec
  • if pilot chute is still over the nose and/or thru suspension lines, perform canopy controllability check
  • if canopy is uncontrollable preform cutaway
18
Q

Closed end cells

A
  • pull toggles for 100% brake position for 3-4 sec and let up slowly
  • if end cells do not inflate, repeat once
  • if end cells do not inflate perform canopy controllability check
19
Q

Premature brake release

A
  • unstow other brake

- perform canopy controllability check

20
Q

Line twist

A
  • grasp both read risers with thumbs down
  • pull risers apart and kick legs in bicycle motion
  • do not unstow brakes until twists clear
  • maintain alt awareness
  • if twists are no cleared by 2500 ft agl make a cutaway decision
21
Q

Hole or tears

A
  • if hole is in bottom skin perform canopy controllability check
  • if hole is in top(blue sky) perform cutaway
22
Q

Line over

A
  • make no attempts to clear

- perform cutaway

23
Q

Floating ripcord

A
  • look and ID malfunction
  • trace ripcord cable housing with index finger and thumb of right hand toward the ripcord cable and make and O around the ripcord pull cable
  • trace ripcord cable to ripcord handle or pull ripcord cable
  • if unsuccessful perform cutaway
24
Q

Hard pull

A
  • reach across with left hand in a punching motion to assist right hand pulling the ripcord
  • if unsuccessful perform cutaway
25
Q

What is the cutaway decision altitude

A

2500 ft AGL

26
Q

What is the lowest alt by which you should no longer attempt to cross over power lines?

A

1000 ft

27
Q

What type of landing is preferred to a wire landing?

A

Any, to include downwind landing

28
Q

Who has cutaway priority in an entanglement if neither jumper has a good canopy and why?

A

Higher jumper may be fatally engulfed in canopy material if lower jumper performs cutaway first

29
Q

What should you do for a misjudged flare attempt

A
  • maintain flare position

- prepare to perform PLF

30
Q

What should you do if your main is completely deployed and your reserve is partially deployed?

A
  • do not unstow brakes. If already I stowed go to full flight and let go
  • carefully attempt to pull in reserve deployment bag and contain it
  • keep suspension lines neat in case reserve begins to inflate
  • while controlling the reserve deployment bag take control of main canopy and land safely
  • if reserve begins to deploy feed suspension lines out and perform dual canopy procdures
31
Q

Side by side

A
  • ensure canopies are not entangled. If unsure, assume they are
  • if canopies are entangled, do not perform cutaway procedures
  • keep canopies together by pulling the inside risers on each canopy
  • apply minimal input to land safely
  • do not release brakes. If brakes are released on one canopy, release on the other
32
Q

Bi-plane

A
  • ensure canopies are not entangled. If unsure, assume they are
  • if canopies are entangled, do not cutaway
  • keep canopies together by flying the dominate canopy with rear risers
  • apply minimal input to land safely
  • do not release brakes. If brakes are released on one canopy, release on the other
33
Q

Down plane

A
  • ensure canopies are not entangled. If unsure, assume they are
  • if the canopies are entangled, do not perform cutaway procedures
  • force canopies into side by side configuration and keep together by pulling the inside rear risers of each canopy
  • apply minimal input to land safely
  • do not release brakes. If brakes are released on one canopy. Release on the other
34
Q

Dual canopies not entangled (100% sure)

A
  • grasp left rear riser on the left canopy with your left hand
  • look and grab red cutaway pillow with your right hand
  • look at canopies and pull left rear riser
  • once the canopies begin to separate pull red cutaway pillow and let go of rear riser
  • perform canopy controllability check
35
Q

Canopy controllability check

A
  • Look left, clear airspace, turn left 90 degrees
  • look right, clear airspace, turn right 90 degrees
  • pull brakes to 100%
36
Q

PRCP

A

Counter,look,trace,pull,raise
