Sit/Inverted B-CoP completed CSPA PIM 1 © April 2012 16
The CSPA is authorized by the Aero Club of Canada to issue parachuting certificates on behalf of the FAI, in the general interest of sport aviation in Canada. The CSPA issues Certificates of Proficiency (CoPs) to recognize ability and knowledge, separated into classes to represent different levels of competence. These CoP‘s are a reflection of demonstration of proficiency in a variety of skill sets combined with technical knowledge through all stages of the skydiving skills grid. They are not merely licenses, records of achievement or accumulations of jumps. Within this section, you will find: - 1. how to qualify - 2. how you are evaluated - 3. how to apply 1. How to Qualify: You must demonstrate your ability in the following skill areas: a) Preparation b) Equipment c) In-flight d) Freefall e) Canopy Control f) Technical Knowledge a) Preparation: as per Skills Grid Endorsement Required for Signed By Solo checkout Jump Solo JM(R), PFFI, Emerg.

The term controlled refers to the parachutist having unassisted control over the attitude of the body from exit to canopy inflation. Control must be maintained during parachute activation. When recording freefall maneuver performance times, the actual time plus any penalties (corrected time) must be shown in the logbook. Similarly, recording of all other skill sets in freefall and under canopy must be recorded, logged and signed by the correct authority in the logbook. SECTION 6: CERTIFICATES OF PROFICIENCY CSPA PIM 1 © April 2012 17 The exit altitude and freefall time must also be recorded for every jump in addition to recording the accumulated time. e) Canopy Control: Accuracy jumps counted for CoP purposes must be controlled. The term controlled refers to the parachutist having a controlled approach on a predetermined target, executing turns with a minimum amount of oscillation. All accuracy landings must be a safe, standup landing. The distance of landings from the centre of the target must be recorded in the logbook. Precision landings are required for the different levels of CoP. Record every distance that can be reasonably measured. These jump and landing demonstrations must be selfspotted and performed without assistance - that is without instruction or coaching. Landing made while receiving direct instruction or coaching do not count. f) Technical Knowledge: As well as performing skills there is an amount of knowledge that must accompany those practical skills. You will be tested on that information prior to applying for your Certificate of Proficiency. You will find study information in the following texts: PIM 1, PIM 2A, B & C, the most current CSPA logbooks and on the CSPA website at www.cspa.ca. The type of information that you will be tested on can be found in the information about the endorsements needed to fulfill the CoP requirement; information pertaining to the privileges of each CoP level; Rules and Recommendations of the CSPA, and; competition, equipment and general parachuting knowledge. Skill requirements for a CoP must be verified by a person designated by CSPA as qualified to perform that function. Qualified individuals holding signing privileges include Coaches, Instructors, Riggers (for packing), Judges and Qualified Evaluators. A few requirements can only be signed by senior rating holders. Criteria for signing privileges are shown under the Endorsements heading near the end of this section. 2. How you are Evaluated: All written/verbal examinations and demonstrations of practical skills will be directed to a skill level appropriate to that of the certificate being applied for. There are four areas to be evaluated, these are: o Freefall and Canopy Proficiency o Endorsements o Technical Knowledge o Other Requirements a) Freefall and Canopy Proficiency: There are performance standards for each Certificate. These standards are identified later in this section. All practical skills for the respective CoP must be achieved prior to writing the CoP Exam. These practical requirements must be witnessed and signed in the logbook by the Coach/Instructor who has the
