Mark the correct answer for each question. Only one answer is correct. Take your time. Ask your instructor if there is anything you do not understand.

1. How will you approach the airplane?

From the rear of the airplane, with the instructor on my left side.
From the front of the airplane.
From underneath the airplane.
From the rear of the airplane, with the pilot on my right side.

20. What this

2. What will you do in case of an aircraft emergency?

I will stand up and run toward the door.
I will turn around and ask the pilot what to do.
I will follow the instructor’s directions.
I will follow the ideas of the person sitting in front of me.

3. What does “Hotel Check” mean?

Check in. Check out. Checking if the instructors are ready.
Making sure the course payment has been received.
Checking what is happening inside and outside the airplane.
The last moment to check your parachute.

4.What will you do if you lose your instructor(s) during exit/freefall?

I will curl up into a ball and close my eyes.
If I lose one instructor, I continue the jump plan; if I lose both, I immediately deploy my main parachute.
Whether I lose one or two, I deploy my reserve parachute.

5. What is the most important thing in the skydive?

Smiling and having fun on the jump.
Opening the parachute.
Communicating with the instructors.
Arching.

6. At what altitude will you deploy your main parachute?

7,200 feet. (2200 m)
5,600 feet. (1700 m)
6,200 feet. (1900 m)
4,600 feet. (1400 m)

7. What will you do after throwing the pilot chute?

Maintain a good arch while doing the deployment count and then check the canopy.
Close my eyes and wait for the parachute to open.
Check what is happening with the slider.
Do nothing.

8. What are the three criteria your canopy must meet?

That it is above my head, turning to the right, and has the correct colour.
That it is above my head, has a good shape, and I can control it.
There is no need to check the parachute.

9. If, after opening, you have line twists…

As long as altitude allows and there are no other jumpers nearby, I try to kick out of the twists before releasing the brakes.
I do nothing, because a student canopy will untwist by itself.
I wait for instructions given over the radio.
I pump the canopy with the toggles.

10. If, while checking your canopy, you notice a malfunction…

I wait for instructions given over the radio.
I pull the handle on the left side.
I pull the handle on the right side.
I check my altitude and airspace, then using both handles I pull the right one first and immediately afterwards the left one.

11. If you have a parachute malfunction below 1,000 feet…

I do nothing, because it is already too late for anything
I perform the full emergency procedure, just much faster
I deploy the reserve parachute without cutting away the main
I wait for the AAD to fire

12. The three parachute malfunctions that may clear by themselves before decision altitude are:

Line twists, slider stopped too high, end cells not inflated
Line twists, torn cell, horseshoe
End cells not inflated, canopy stuck in the deployment bag, knot on the suspension lines
Slider stopped at the top, broken suspension lines, jammed steering toggle

13. The three priorities when deploying the main parachute are:

Open the parachute, cut away the parachute, flare the parachute
Open the parachute, open at the correct altitude, open in a stable body position
Arch, look around carefully, deploy efficiently
Check altitude, check the airspace around you, arch

14. At what altitude do we avoid collision with an obstacle?

At 30 feet
Between 700 and 3,300 feet
As high as possible
Just before the impact

15. The radio in basic training:

Is a reliable device for two-way exchange of important observations
Is an additional device that can help with proper flaring for landing
Is an electronic device for the instructor to control the student’s flight
Is used to relax between practical exercises at the airfield

16. The three priorities for a safe landing are:

Land to the north of the runway, flare the canopy quickly, flare the canopy to 100%
Flare the canopy aggressively, tense your whole body just before touchdown, listen to the radio
Land with a level canopy, land in an area clear of obstacles, flare the canopy at least 50%
Land on grass (or other soft surface), land into the wind, land on both feet

17. At what altitude will you leave the holding area?

5,600 feet (1700 m)
3,300 feet (1000 m)
1,000 feet (300 m)
300 feet (100 m)

18. If the end cells have not inflated:

I immediately deploy the reserve parachute
I can continue the flight, because most of the canopy is working
If I am above decision altitude, I pump the canopy using the steering toggles
I do a series of epic turns

19. Why must you not make spirals under canopy below 1,600 feet (500m)?

I might feel sick
I might lose orientation in space
The AAD may deploy the reserve parachute
The AAD may cut away the main canopy

20. If you cannot hear the commands given over the radio:

I do not touch the toggles, because I might mess something up
I keep turning gently to the right so I don’t drift too far away
I follow my flight plan
I move my legs to show that there is no communication

21. While flying the landing pattern, the best altitudes for the successive turns are:

100, 70, 50 feet (30,20,15 m)
1,000, 700, 300 feet (300, 200, 100 m)
5,600, 3,300, 1,600 feet (1700, 1000, 500 m)
2,000, 1,600, 1,300 feet (600, 500, 400 m)

22. Main canopy check. Everything is OK if:

It is open above my head, only slightly deformed, it is spinning but I am not losing consciousness
It is open above my head, looks good, and I can turn and flare it
It has turned me to a vertical position, the toggles are within reach and I can effectively use at least one steering toggle
I felt a strong opening shock, I see the slider at the top and there are no two adjacent broken suspension lines

23. If the exit from the airplane was unstable:
