USPA Skydiving B License Practice test

The first priority in your pull priorities when skydiving is to deploy the parachute. This is crucial because the primary goal of any jump is to safely descend to the ground, and deploying the parachute is the most vital step toward achieving that. When you deploy the parachute, you initiate the process that will lead to a controlled descent. It's important to recognize that this action must occur within a specific altitude range to ensure the parachute has enough altitude to inflate properly and provide a safe and manageable descent rate. Therefore, while checking altitude, stabilizing, and pulling at the proper altitude are important tasks, the immediate action of deploying the parachute takes precedence. Focusing on deployment ensures that you are prioritizing safety and the successful completion of your jump, which is aligned with best practices in skydiving.
