What is Skydiving Currency?
Skydiving currency means you've jumped recently enough to maintain your reflexes, emergency procedure memory, and canopy skills at a safe level. USPA sets minimum time windows — if you exceed them, you need supervised jumps before flying solo again.
Muscle memory degrades. Emergency procedures fade. Pattern recognition slows. Even experienced jumpers can freeze or make poor decisions after a long break. Currency requirements exist because returning skydivers are statistically at higher risk — not because of skill, but because of rust.
| License | Window |
|---|---|
| A-License | 60 days |
| B-License | 90 days |
| C-License | 180 days |
| D-License | 180 days |
For most lapsed licensed jumpers: a ground refresher covering emergency procedures plus one supervised recurrency jump with a USPA Coach or higher is the standard path. For longer lapses, your S&TA will determine the full recurrency program. Never skip this process — it's there to keep you safe.
