All the jumps made are recorded in a specific logbook, held by the student, on which the instructors certify the skills acquired:
1° Apart from the accompanied progression in the chute, the students first carry out jumps in automatic opening which enable them to demonstrate their ability to make stable exits and to simulate the action of opening. They must make a minimum of four automatic opening jumps before entering freefall. Once in freefall, the release height and the exercise required must enable the student to open at a minimum height of one thousand two hundred metres;
2° Students following an accompanied progression in freefall must be accompanied in freefall by one or two instructors until such time as they have demonstrated their ability to stabilise uncontrolled exits, to perform prolonged stable falls, to control a “return to face ground” after a voluntary “back passage”, to correctly assess their height and to open their parachute at a predetermined height. The first jump is always accompanied by two instructors. They must also have made a minimum of six accompanied jumps before making an unaccompanied jump. The parachuting height must not be less than three thousand metres and the opening height must not be less than one thousand two hundred metres;
3° The use of the tandem is possible at all stages of the student’s progression. The parachuting height must not be less than three thousand metres and the opening height must not be less than one thousand five hundred metres.
