Q

Broken Control Lines

A

-Unstow both breaks
-steer with good toggle and rear riser on side of broken control line
-determine flare point at safe altitude with both rear rises(above 1500ft agl)
fly landing pattern and land using both rear risers

17
Q

Pilot Chute over the Nose and/or Through Suspension Lines

A

Pull toggles to 100% brake position for 3-4 seconds

if pilot chute is still over preform controllability check

if uncontrollable preform cutaway procedures.

18
Q

Closed End Cells

A

Pull toggles to 100% brake position 3-4 seconds let up slowly

if end cells do not inflate repeat once

if end cells do not inflate perform canopy is I controllability check

19
Q

Premature Break Release

A

Unstow other brake

preform controllability check

20
Q

Line Twist

A
  • Grasp both rear risers with thumbs down
  • Pull risers apart and kick legs in bicycle motion
  • Do not unstow brakes until twists are clear
  • maintain altitude awareness
  • if twists are not cleared by 2500ft ago make a cutaway decision.
21
Q

Holes or Tears

A

If hole is in bottom skin preform canopy controllability check
if hole is in top skin (blue sky) perform cutaway procedures

22
Q

Line Over

A

Do not attempt to clear this malfunction

Perform cutaway procedures

23
Q

Floating Ripcord

A

Look and Identify malfunction
trace ripcord cable with index finger and thumb of right hand toward ripcord cable making a O around cable,
Trace ripcord cable to ripcord handle or pull ripcord cable if unsuccessful preform cutaway procedure

24
Q

Hard Pull

A

Reach across with left hand in a punching motion to assist right hand pulling the ripcord
if unsuccessful preform cutaway procedure

25
Q

Cutaway Decision Altitude

A

2500 ft AGL

26
Q

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

A

Do not unstow brakes. if unstowed go to full flight and let go
carefully attempt to pull in reserve deployment bag and contain it
keep line neat incase reserve beings to inflate.
while controlling reserve deployment bag take control of the main canopy and land safety
, if reserve begins to deploy feed lines out and perform dual canopy procedures

27
Q

Side by Side

A

Ensure canopies are not entanglement if unsure assume they are.
If entangled don’t cutaway
keep Canopies together by pulling inside rear risers
apply minimal input to land safely
do not release brakes. if brakes are released on one canopy, release on the other

28
Q

Down Plane

A

Ensure not entangled
if unsure assume they are, if entangled do not preform cutaway procedures,

force canopies into side by side configuration keep together by pulling the inside rear risers of each canopy,

apply minimal input to land safety

do not release brakes if brakes are released on one release the other

29
Q

100% sure canopies are not entangled

A

Grasp left rear risers on the left canopy w/left hand.

Look and grab red cutaway w/right hand,

look at canopies and pull left rear riser.

After separation pull red cutaway pillow and let go of rear riser,

preform control ability check.

30
Q

Lowest you should not cross powerlines

A

1000ft

31
Q

what landing is preferred to wire landing

A

Any type of landing, to include downwind landing

32
Q

what landing is preferred to wire landing

A

Any type of landing, to include downwind landing

33
Q

Who has priority in an entanglement if neither jumper has good canopy control

A

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

34
Q

who has the right of way in an entanglement and why

A

the higher jumper

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

35
Q

Emergency procedure for entanglement between 2000-1000ft agl

A

Higher jumper makes every effort to control lower jumpers canopy

lower jumper has 2 options jettison equipment and land with higher jumper flying with 50% brakes and PLF or preform cutaway procedures.

36
Q

Emergency procedure for entanglement above 2000ft agl

A

Higher jumper attempts to clear himself of lower jumpers canopy (will reinflate in 150-200ft)

if higher jumper cannot cannot clear lower jumper will preform cutaway procedures

37
Q

Emergency procedure for entanglement below 1000ft agl

A

Higher jumper makes every effort to control lowers canopy.

Lower jumper will jettison equipment and land with higher jumper flying at 50% brakes and PLF

38
Q

Misjudged Flare

A

Maintain Flare

Prepare to PLF

39
Q

A
  • Throw away
  • Arch
  • Counter
  • Look
  • Grab
  • Pull
  • Throw Away
