Descargar Diccionario Biblia Vila Escuain Pdf Writer. 3, Issue 7 October 2, 2003 RATING COURSE MATERIALS USPA continues to receive outdated instructional rating proficiency cards from course candidates and course directors. These outdated cards result in rejected applications returned to the candidate or course director. USPA HQ cannot issue a rating unless the proper materials are used for the course syllabus. Since January 1, 2003, all USPA rating courses have required the USPA Instructional Rating Manual and Skydiver’s Information Manual, each dated within two years of the course.

USPA 2016-2017 Instructional Rating Manual published by the United States Parachute Association in stock at ChutingStar Skydiving Gear SuperStore! Judge Rating Courses; Submit A. USPA presents the primary contents of the 2018 Skydiver's Information Manual online for reference by USPA members and others.

Both manuals are available through the USPA Store, and the SIM is available online. Each candidate must have his or her own manuals during the conduct of a rating course. One IRM can be used for all of the USPA instructional ratings and contains the forms necessary for each course. NEW MANUALS The 2004 Skydiver’s Information Manual and the 2004 (Edition Three) Instructional Rating Manual are now available through the USPA Store. Input from the membership continues to improve both manuals. New to the SIM in 2004 is a section for advanced canopy flight, with recommendations for downsizing and learning performance canopy maneuvers.

The section on canopy formation received a much-needed rework, thanks to CF specialist Wendy Faulkner. Section 3 covering USPA licenses has been updated to reflect the September 30 alignment with FAI standards. Other miscellaneous SIM updates include: • The cutaway alternative has been added to the first-jump course and in the recommendations for experienced jumpers to address a side-by-side (main and reserve) canopy formations. USPA is looking for more research on two canopies out to update its recommendations, which may or may not work with the smaller canopies now in use.

• The outmoded height-weight table in Section 4 was deleted. • The section on skydiving emergencies now includes a recommendation for jumpers to simulate malfunctions on the ground at every repack cycle and to operate the emergency handles on their equipment (probably best done with the rigger present to recover the equipment). • A new passage in the recurrency recommendations addresses longer periods of inactivity or sporadic activity. • Jumpers are reminded to take extra care when reassembling reserve static lines after disconnecting them. • In the spotting section, recommendations include staying in position on the line of flight after opening to allow jumpers from other groups to open.

Whenever possible, jumpers should fly perpendicular to the flight line after opening until they see the next and previous groups open their parachutes. Also, whenever the plane takes a second pass or if there is more than one plane flying jumpers, enough time must be allowed for everyone to fly clear before the next pass.
