I just found this Jeopardy Game on USPA's site. It is not a B-lic practice quiz but it may help you review after you read the SIM. www.uspa.org/Portals/0/Downloads/JeaopardyGame-Safety.ppt Since I was looking for this PPT file, I'll update the link - (typo in the above) http://www.uspa.org/Portals/0/Downloads/JeopardyGame-Safety.ppt

Well, hi there neighbour! I'm thinking along similar lines but have to work out best time to go as cant escape work before end of Aug. I did my USPA A-lic out at Skydive Spain. Awesome people and who can argue with 15,000+20 secs. Let me know when you're thinking of going. -
Awesome to hear. I started jumping static line in the military and operational jumps were from 800ft (feels like you can step out onto the ground). I too was hesitant about my HnP after jumping out from 15,000ft for all my other AFF jumps and having stability issues. On the day, decided to heck with it - now or never and 5,000ft is still damn high - worst case I had plenty of time to get stable. As it turned out, I had a great exit and was under canopy by 4,500ft. Opening was a little slower as was certainly not at terminal velocity on opening and it was a very lonely canopy ride to the PLA as the rest of the load headed off to altitude. Got to practice a lot of canopy handling drills without having to worry about anyone else in close proximity which was an added bonus :)
