Additional Equipment : 

Additional Equipment Altimeter Approximate altitudes Check altitude during freefall after every task when having difficulty every 3-5 seconds Continue to use under canopy

Additional Equipment : 

Additional Equipment Rigid Helmet & goggles

Additional Equipment : 

Additional Equipment Jumpsuit

Additional Equipment : 

Additional Equipment Jumpsuit Shoes No hooks or speed laces

Additional Equipment :

Parachute Openings : 

Parachute Openings Occurs in 3 stages Activation Deployment begins by throwing pilot chute

Parachute Openings : 

Parachute Openings Occurs in 3 stages Activation Deployment begins by throwing pilot chute Deployment Parachute comes out of the container

Parachute Openings : 

Parachute Openings Occurs in 3 stages Activation Deployment begins by throwing pilot chute Deployment Parachute comes out of the container Inflation Canopy fills with air

Slide 45: 

Freefall Body Position

Freefall Body Position : 

Freefall Body Position Relative Wind Wind created by your movement through the air Exit: comes from ahead Freefall: comes from below Falling belly-to-earth is most stable body position and the best position for deployment

Freefall Body Position : 

Freefall Body Position Three control surfaces Torso Legs Arms

Freefall Body Position : 

Freefall Body Position 1. Torso Hips forward, back arched Symmetry Chin up Relax: breathe!

Freefall body position : 

Freefall body position 2. Legs Knees shoulder width apart Knees bent 45o, toes pointed Knees above pelvis Keep positive pressure on relative wind

Freefall body position : 

Freefall body position 3. Arms Upper arms 90o from torso Elbows bent 90o Hands relaxed

Slide 51: 

51 Student Freefall Body Position Practice Session

Slide 52: 

Freefall Communication

Freefall Communications : 

Freefall Communications How do instructors teach in the air? Communication through hand signals Allows instructors to make mid-air corrections

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Circle of awareness (COA) Check altitude and heading

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Arch Push pelvis forward Check symmetry of torso Relax

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Relax Breathe Relax muscles into comfortable arch

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Practice pilot chute touches (PPTs) Start or repeat PPTs

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Check arms Look at arms for proper position

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Legs out Slowly extend your legs 4-6 inches

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Legs in Slowly bring in legs 4-6 inches

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Pull Deploy Now!

Hand signals : 

Hand signals Thumbs up Great job – keep it up!

Freefall Communication : 

Freefall Communication Exit Shaking on exit = arch and relax

Slide 64: 

Deployment Sequence

Pull Priorities : 

Pull Priorities Pull Priorities 1. 2. 3.

Pull Priorities : 

Pull Priorities Pull Priorities 1. Pull 2. 3.

Pull Priorities : 

Pull Priorities Pull Priorities 1. Pull 2. Pull at the proper altitude 3.

Pull Priorities : 

Pull Priorities Pull Priorities 1. Pull 2. Pull at the proper altitude 3. Pull at proper altitude with stability

Pull Priorities : 

Pull Priorities Pull Priorities 1. Pull 2. Pull at the proper altitude 3. Pull at proper altitude with stability We NEVER sacrifice a higher pull priority for a lower one

Main Canopy Deployment : 

Main Canopy Deployment Important altitudes 6000’ Lock on 5500’ Wave off and deploy Lock on - Look at your altimeter, don’t take your eyes off Wave off - Wave arms twice under chin

Deployment Sequence : 

71 Deployment Sequence Arch Reach Grab Throw (1-thousand, 2-thousand, 3-thousand, 4-thousand, 5-thousand) Check Check

Deployment Sequence : 

Deployment Sequence Arch Arched, belly-to-earth position provides most stable deployment Look straight ahead

Deployment Sequence : 

Deployment Sequence Reach Maintain arch Right arm: Locate deployment handle Reach with palm up, thumb down Left arm: Extend arm overhead for equal deflection of air

Deployment Sequence : 

Deployment Sequence Grab Securely wrap hand around deployment handle Throw Forcefully pull handle to extract pilot chute Release after full arm extension Return arms to neutral position

Deployment Sequence : 

Deployment Sequence Arch Continue to maintain arch during deployment Remain flat, stable, with shoulders level Count: 1-thousand, 2-thousand, 3-thousand, 4-thousand, 5-thousand

Deployment Sequence : 

Deployment Sequence Check Visually check for pilot chute deployment and parachute inflation Check Check altitude and location after gaining control of the parachute
