Can I use my own gear during recurrency training?
That depends on several factors and will be determined by your instructor.
If you are uncurrent for several months or even years, we will insist that you jump a parachute that is along the lines of our recommendation. This may include upsizing and/or switching to a canopy model with more docile flight characteristics.
Once you have been reintroduced to the sport, your instructor may make suggestions based on your performance on what gear to jump.
