Jan Meyer (Author)


Out of Print--Limited Availability.



Book Description

March 1991
Parachuting Manual with Log for Accelerated FreeFall by Jan Meyer covers the components of the AFF dive, step-by-step photos and instructions on exits, hand signals, the dive sequence for each level, flying and landing the canopy, emergency situations & procedures and much more. There are eight log pages to record initial jumps.

Parachuting Manual with Log is a compact yet complete pocket-sized condensation of the first jump course. Use it to practice boarding, spotting, exits, body position, count, malfunction recognition, emergency procedures, canopy control, and landing emergency situations. There are freefall tables and regulations and well as explanations of parachute nomenclature and function. A brief log in the back of the manual allows you to record your first few days of jumping. If you are new to the sport, you need one of these books. If you are a jumpmaster or instructor, your students need these books.

Used by skydiving schools world-wide


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Jammed to overflowing with a wealth of aviation knowledge." - Survival And Flight Association's SAFE Journal

"It is hard to believe that a pocket-size booklet on parachuting could offer the novice and the experienced skydiver so much useful info. One reason is that the text is written by a pro and goes right to the point. The clear text is enhanced greatly by easy-to-grasp drawings and schematics that demonstrate the right way to do everything from getting out of the aircraft to landing on rough terrain." - Aviation/Space Writers Association's AWA Newsletter

"The Manual is a necessity at every drop zone." - Skydiving Spotlight

"PML is standard issue at our dropzone to all incoming students. The moment they register, they are handed the PML with their name written in it, the DZ phone number and address stamped in it, and given a brief reading assignment to keep them involved until class starts. Perhaps that's why we order them from you several hundred at a time." - Michael Turoff, I/E, Spaceland Paracenter, Texas

From the Author

Many skydiving schools buy these books in bulk and provide them as part of the First Jump Course
