What type of jump is permitted for a skydiver with a USPA A license?

A skydiver holding a USPA A License is qualified to participate in group jumps. This license indicates that the skydiver has completed the necessary training and has demonstrated the required skills to jump safely and competently. At this level, the skydiver has proven they can perform jumps with others, maintain proper separation during freefall, and manage altitude awareness.

In contrast, solo jumps are typically allowed for advanced license holders with greater experience, as they involve a higher level of individual decision-making and risk management. Tandem jumps require a special certification, as they involve jumping with a licensed instructor who takes on a significant role in managing the jump. Freefly jumps, which require specific skills and techniques for controlling body position during freefall, are generally beyond the skill set approved for A License holders. Each of these options represents different levels of complexity and experience beyond what is expected of a skydiver at the A License level.
