Description
  • The United States Parachute Association and its 34,000 member skydivers enjoy and promote safe skydiving through parachuting training, rating, and competition programs. USPA represents parachute jumping from aircraft and helps keep skydivers in the air.



Notes

The United States Parachute Association is a membership association by, for, and about skydivers—that is, people who intentionally jump from aircraft.

USPA is a voluntary organization of individual skydivers and the group member "drop zones," or skydiving centers, where they jump. The association is incorporated in New York and follows the constitution and by-laws contained in the USPA Governance Manual. USPA members elect the association's leadership from among themselves.

The Federal Aviation Administration recognizes USPA's successful leadership role in the self-regulation of skydiving. The association represents skydivers before government, the public, andthe aviation industry.

USPA supports and promotes skydiving competition and provides recommendations for skydiving training and instructional rating programs. USPA-issued skydiving licenses are recognized internationally through the International Parachuting Commission of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, which oversees all air sports.
