For every skydiver, from a beginner taking their first Tandem Skydive to an experienced professional with a USPA Skydiving License, the Skydiving Logbook is an indispensable tool. It’s more than just a book; it’s your personal history of flight, a record of your achievements, and a vital document for your progression in the sport.
What is a Skydiving Logbook? A Skydiving Logbook is a formal record where skydivers document details of each jump they make. It typically includes information such as:
- Date of Jump: When the jump occurred.
- Dropzone: The location where the jump was made.
- Aircraft: The type of plane used.
- Altitude: The 13,000 feet skydive or other altitude from which you exited.
- Freefall Duration: The length of your freefall.
- Canopy Time: The time spent under parachute.
- Jump Type: Whether it was a Tandem Skydive, AFF Jump, Solo Jump, or Fun Jump.
- Description of Jump: Notes on maneuvers, formations, or any significant events during the jump.
- Instructor/Coach/Witness Signature: Crucial for verifying jumps, especially for Skydiving Certification.
- Equipment Used: Details of the parachute system.
Why is a Skydiving Logbook Essential?
- Proof of Experience for Skydiving Certification: To get a Skydiving License (like an AFF License or higher USPA licenses), you need to demonstrate a specific number of jumps and skills. Your logbook serves as official proof of your jump count and is required for license applications.
- Tracking Progress: It allows you to visually track your progression from your first Solo Parachute Jump to mastering advanced techniques. You can see how your freefall time increases, how many AFF Jumps you’ve completed, and which skills you’ve mastered.
- Safety and Equipment Tracking: Keeping a record of equipment used can be important for maintenance and safety checks.
- Personal Memory: Beyond official requirements, your logbook is a cherished keepsake, filled with memories of exhilarating Freefall Experiences and breathtaking Skydiving Ocean views.
