25
If your main is completely deployed and your reserve partially deployed
Do not Unstow breaks, or place them in full flight, attempt to pull and contain reserve deployment bag,while controlling take control of your main canopy and land. If reserve deploys feed suspension lines on and perform duel canopy landing
26
Side by side
Ensure canopy aren't entangled if you don't know assume they are. If entangled do not cut away, keep canopies together by grabbing the inside rear risers, apply minimal impute to land safely, do not release breaks, if release release all breaks
27
Bi plane
Ensure canopies aren't entangled if unsure assume they are, if they're entangled to not perform cutaway procedures, keep canopies together by flying dominant canopy with rear risers,apply minimal I out to Kane safely, do not release breaks if one is down release them all
28
Down plane
Ensure canopies are not entangled, if so blush blsh, force canopies into side by side, minimal, breaks
29
If 100% sure canopies are not entangles
Grabs left rear riser on the left canopy with you left hand, cutaway, ccc
30
Lowest altitude you should no longer attempt to cross over power lines
1000agl
31
What time of landing is preferred to a wire landing
Any Type in leading down wind
32
Cut away for entanglement and neither has a good canopy
Higher so that he is caught in lowers canopy
33
If higher jumper has a good canopy
Higher clears himself lower inflates within 150 to 200 ft or lower jumper cut away
34
Entitlement between 1000-2000 agl
Higher jumper tries to separate if unable lower jumper cuts away or drops combat equipment go to 50% and lands with or cuts away
35
Below 1000agl entanglement
Higher tried to control lower drops equipment and lands with higher at 50% plf
36
Below 1000 neither has good canopy
Both pull reserves if only one canopy works p, ride together if both cutaway
37
Misjudge flare
Hold plf
38
12 steps to cut away
Throw counter look grab red, pull throw counter look grab pull throw raise .
