Skydiving Recurrency Training

Photo by Mark Kirschenbaum

USPA SIM Section 5-2 determines when the holder of a particular license becomes un-current. In addition, USPA provides guidelines to its instructional rating holders to determine the training process to re-enter the sport.

You are un-current if your last jump was before: Oct. 05, 2024 (A‑license holder), Sep. 05, 2024 (B‑license holder), or Jun. 07, 2024 (C‑ or D‑license holder).

Are you un-current or out of practice with your emergency procedures?
Then schedule a private recurrency training with us.
