Cell Phones on vibrate during class and not for use except for emergencies

Class Schedule Monday • Introduction • Risk Management • Peak Performance • Equipment • Freefall & Body Position • Canopy Control

Wednesday • Aircraft • Dive Flow • Malfunctions

Thursday • Landing and

Obstacles • Review • Test • Skydiving Disciplines • T-Shirts

Setting Limits We will never see our full potential when we

believe that the limits of our abilities are based on; who we are at this time, our understanding of the roles within which we are taught we are suppose to fit, and the rules by which we are told we must

abide

Intro to Skydiving Definitions

Risk:

Danger:

Reward: Beneficial return on investment.

Exposure to loss or injury

Possibility of loss or injury

5/24/2018

Intro to Skydiving Definitions

To be afraid or feel anxious about a possible or probable situation, event, or outcome. An emotional response to one’s environment.

Fear:

Phobia:

Recklessness: Actions marked by a lack of proper caution or to be careless of consequences.

Extreme unsubstantiated fear that prevents normal or rational function.

Intro to Skydiving

Education (We will do it here)

Identify all risks and associated danger

Categorize those risks

Reduction of Outside Variables.

I’ve already done all I can. What can you do?

Identification of Remaining Risks

What steps can we take to reduce risks?

Pupils Dilate (Functional vision reduced by up to 17% in high-stress situations)

Hands and Feet Get Cold (“Cold Feet”)

Stomach Turns (“Butterflies”)

Adrenaline

Glucose

Heart Rate and Breathing.

Physiology Flight, Fight, or ??Freeze

What does that have to do with managing risks?

Identifying the process to prevent it from getting out of control

Emotional Thought Processes

Barriers to Performance Psychological

Emotions Result From Environmental Stimulus

The Brain Reacts to the Emotion

The Body Reacts to the Brain

Physical Result Creates a Feedback Loop.

Courage is not the absence of fear

Feedback Loop

5/24/2018

Feedback Loop Barriers to Performance Psychological

Use Your Brain as Intended

Consider the Situation

Brain and Body React to our Emotions

Control Your Brain = Body = Action

Identify the Safe & Logical Path

Act in Spite of Emotions.

Break the Chain

Barriers to Performance Outside Variables

Reduce as Many Variables as Possible

Gear Reliability

Aircraft Reliability

Instructor Reliability

Appropriate Weather.

Barriers to Performance

Does not Change Level or Type of Danger

Can Dramatically Affect Your Risk Level.

Aircraft Procedures Boarding

Never W/O Instructor(s)

To avoid coming in contact with the propeller, ALWAYS Approach fixed-wing aircraft from the rear on the door side of the aircraft with your instructors

Aircraft Procedures Boarding

YOU are responsible for wearing a seatbelt on taxi, take-off, and landing. Your instructors will help you put it on. The Pilot can be fined if you do not wear a seatbelt and can have his license revoked by the FAA.

Helmets and seatbelts must be worn until the aircraft reaches 1,000 Ft AGL

Aircraft Procedures Emergencies

Pilot is in Charge

You are to Take Instructions from only your Instructor’s

Emergency Exit on Main

Emergency Exit on Reserve

Emergency Exit Normal

Aircraft Procedures Flight

Seatbelts and Helmets Off After 1,000 Ft

Minimize Movement

Protect Handles

Relaxed and Focused on Task

Focus on Breathing

Positive Self-Talk

Aircraft Procedures Flight

Report Key Altitudes to I’s

1,000 (Do not cross the Runway, Do not Cut Away, Start Landing pattern)

2,000 Know where you are going to land

2,500 Make your canopy decision

5,500 Wave-off and Pull!

6,000 Lock-On!

Aircraft Procedures Flight

Rehearse Verbally with I’s

These hand signals are published on Carmen as part of the daily slides.

Please know this hand signals by sight and the corresponding actions that you are required to perform when you see them.

5/24/2018

Reasons to Pull When you reach 5,500 feet in freefall and wave-off

One or both of your instructors give you the pull signal

If you are unable to read your altimeter due to absence or malfunction of the altimeter

If you are alone in freefall (One instruction Continue)

If you see your instructor pull

The Count

Up! Down! Arch

AFF Dive Flow Aircraft

It is very important to give a clear and solid count (“Up! Down! Arch”) to be sure that your instructors and/or camera person can all exit with you at the exact same time.

This is critical to performance and safety

5/24/2018

Body Position Relative Wind

During Exit (AKA “The Hill”) comes from ahead, or from in front of the airplane toward us ahead of where we are at that moment

During Freefall comes from the ground up toward us

Pull Priorities You need to know these

1. Pull!

Get a parachute out!

2. Pull on Time!

Get a parachute out, at 5,500 feet after wave-off!

3. Pull on Time With Stability

Get a parachute out, at 5,500 feet after wave-off, while relaxed arching and legs out!
