Introduction - This following outline is a reference document only and is NOT to be considered as the First Jump Course training information in its entirety. Skydiving is a performance-oriented sport which must be demonstrated by the instructor and emulated several times by the student to ensure a safe and fun first skydive. 

Skydiving in the U.S. is primarily a self-regulated activity. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a set of regulations ~ Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 105 (Parachute Jumping) prescribes rules governing parachute jumps made in the United States. The United States Parachute Association (USPA) is the oldest voluntary (not-for-profit) organization whose roots come from former military airborne personnel who wished to continue parachuting in the civilian sector. Over the years, the USPA has developed a set of Basic Safety Recommendations (BSRs). These Basic Safety Recommendations stipulate recommended training methods for skydiving.

Skydive Tulsa is a USPA Group Member and has developed its training programs based on the USPA's Basic Safety Recommendations and complies with the regulations set forth in FAR Part 105. 

The First Jump Course is conducted every Thursday night at 6:00 PM sharp. Please plan on arriving at about 5:30 PM to fill out the necessary paperwork. Please print a copy of each section of the outline prior to coming to class ~ you will be encouraged to reference this document after each block of instruction during your first jump course training. Please do not use it during training. Focus your attention on your instructor.
