EXAM 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS) |AGRADE
If the pilot chute extracts the deployment bag from the parachute
container (backpack) but the deployment bag fails to release the
parachute canopy for inflation, what is the correct response – ANSWERCut away and deploy the reserve
If part of the deployed parachute is caught on the jumper or the
equipment (horseshoe),what is the correct response – ANSWER- Cut
away and deploy the reserve
What are the three legs of the canopy landing pattern with relation to the
wind direction – ANSWER- Downwind (with the wind), base (across the
wind but downwind of the target), and final (into the wind)
Why is it undesirable to land off the end of a runway – ANSWERApproaching and departing aircraft
How would you address the following routine opening problem: Slider
stops halfway down – ANSWER- Pump rear risers or steering controls at
the bottom of the stroke while watching altitude to 2,500 feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In flat and stable freefall at terminal velocity, how long does it take an
average jumper to fall 1,000 feet – ANSWER- 5.5 seconds
What is the correct procedure for recovering from instability to the
belly-to-earth position – ANSWER- Altitude, arch, legs, relax
Which is better, to pull at the planned altitude or to fall lower to get
stable before pulling – ANSWER- Pull at the planned altitude, regardless
of stability
What is the purpose of the wave-off before deployment – ANSWER- To
signal other jumpers
What is the purpose of the parachute landing fall (PLF), and why is it
important for skydivers – ANSWER- It protects against hard landings,
and all skydivers have hard landings
What part of the landing pattern is most dangerous to skydivers –
ANSWER- The intersection of the base and final approach legs
How do higher wind speeds affect the planned landing pattern as
compared to the pattern plan for a calm day – ANSWER- Shortens the
final approach, shortens the base leg, lengthens the downwind leg, and
places the planned pattern entry point farther upwind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In moderately strong winds, how far downwind of an obstacle would
you expect to find turbulence – ANSWER- 10-20 times the height of the
obstacle
What is the best procedure to use when flying your canopy in turbulent
conditions – ANSWER- Keep the canopy flying in a straight line at full
flight (or as directed by the owner’s manual)
Why is it important to protect your parachute system operation handles
when in and around the aircraft – ANSWER- Keeps them in place and
prevents accidental or premature deployment
What is the equipment pre-flight strategy to use before putting on your
gear – ANSWER- Top to bottom, back to front.
How does the three-ring main canopy release system disconnect the
main parachute from the harness – ANSWER- Pulls the cables to release
the cloth loop
How do you know if a reserve parachute has been packed by an FAA
rigger within the last 180 days – ANSWER- Information found on the
reserve packing data card
How do you know the reserve container has not been opened since the
FAA rigger last closed it – ANSWER- Rigger’s packing seal on the
reserve ripcord
