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. 13, 2024 (A‑license holder), Sep. 13, 2024 (B‑license holder), or Jun. 15, 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.
