DPhantom679 0 #1 March 6, 2006 I am working on my B and have heard a few different interpretations on the accuracy jumps. Do I start the first jump AFTER I get my A or can I count any jump I have made toward my B? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samurai136 0 #2 March 6, 2006 Any jump that meets the standard counts for accuracy. For example, if on jump 20 you land with in 2 meters of target center you would list jump 20 as an accuracy landing for the A-license proficiency card, and jump 20 could be used for your B and C-license accuracy landings."Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSOK 0 #3 March 6, 2006 Just a qucik question... I know everyone is different, but at about what jump number you started getting really accurate landings? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samurai136 0 #4 March 6, 2006 USPA has changed a few things over the past 6 years. When I started jumping the D license was 200 jumps and 25 accuracy landings within 2 meters. I had my first accuracy landing within 2 meters on jump 20. Jump 60 I had completed a Skydive U/ Scott Miller canopy course. By the time I had 100 jumps I had racked up 15 accuracy landings towards a D-license.

kelpdiver 2 #5 March 6, 2006 QuoteJust a qucik question... I know everyone is different, but at about what jump number you started getting really accurate landings? may depend on where you are, too. Most of the LZs I deal with are huge, and there are enough people in the air, that I prioritize spacing, but that doesn't help you hit a preplaced cone on the ground. I'm not sure how I'm going to get the 2m accuracy. (BTW, what does that even mean - come to a stop within 2m, first touch the ground inside the circle, ??) Seems like aiming short and gliding to the target would be the way to go, but not really useful if you had to land in a backyard someday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any jump you've made off of ground control radio counts, although technically I think you're required to spot the plane, too. That was more important and more practical back in the round parachute days. I think that requirement is pretty much ignored anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Accuracy is measured from first point of contact, hopefully not the head. I think that for a pro rating you have to come to a stop inside the target area. Always pick the right tool for the job. An accuracy canopy makes spot landings easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
