A-License Program
The next step after you reach Solo Certification is the United States Parachute Association (USPA) A-License. During the A-License Training Program you will learn the skills necessary to jump with other people and you will learn how to pack your own main parachute. The jumps are broken into six skill sets that need to be mastered prior to the A-License check dive.
The jumps are designed to be completed in blocks of two on the same day. Throughout the program, you are encouraged to make "Unsupervised Solo Freefall Jumps" or C 8’s to practice your skills and become more proficient in the air. These jumps also help you reach the minimum of 25 skydives necessary to apply for the A-License.
