Dive Flow 8 Quiz - eSkydiving.com

If you notice you have begun to turn your canopy too close to the ground to land safely, what should you do?

Stop the turn and use toggle control to get the canopy back over your head. Flare on time and be prepared for a hard landing (PLF).
Keep turning until impact.
Counter turn and return to your original flight path.

If you can’t read your altimeter, you should:

Extending your legs evenly makes you move forward and helps maintain balance.

A loose or worn main-container closing loop can break, leading to premature deployment and/or
out-of-sequence deployment.

Regardless of altitude, if your instructor gives a deploy signal, you will:

The best way to recover from a stall is letting up slowly and smoothly on the toggles.

What are your assigned DEPLOYMENT and DECISION altitudes for this skydive?

Ì will follow the canopy flight plan discussed with my instructor for this skydive.

At the assigned deployment altitude, I will WAVE-ARCH-REACH-PULL-ARCH.

(Drag and drop)
What will your response be to a:

Deploy reserve parachute immediately
Make two attempts (or take two additional seconds) to deploy main pilot chute, assess—if needed, cut away main and deploy reserve parachute
Cut away main parachute and deploy reserve parachute immediately

Match these two-canopy-out scenarios to the correct response below (drag and drop).

Disconnect RSL, fly dominant canopy (one in front) gently to a large clear area, do not flare, PLF
Disconnect RSL, fly dominant canopy (one more-overhead) gently to a large clear area, do not flare, PLF
Disconnect RSL, cut away main parachute, steer reserve parachute normally, flare normally, prepare to PLF
