What is an individual jump record?

• A. A line-by-line entry of every jump made since the member's last annual/PCS product was produced
• B. A summary of total jumps per year
• C. A list of jumps with dates only
• D. A record of equipment used for jumps

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that documenting each jump individually provides complete traceability of a member’s parachute training and currency. An individual jump record is kept as a line-by-line log, with a new entry for every jump since the last formal update (such as the most recent annual review or PCS). This allows you to verify that all required jumps have been completed and to review the specifics of each event if needed.

This format is necessary because it captures more than just totals or dates. Each line can include important details about that specific jump—date and time, aircraft, jump type, equipment used, jump outcomes, and any notes on malfunctions or safety concerns. This level of detail is essential for safety, training progression, and auditing.

Options that summarize jumps by year, list only dates, or record only equipment fail to provide the full per-jump record needed for accountability and safety reviews.
