Program areas at USPA

Publications - uspa's official publication is "parachutist", which has been published since 1957. This monthly magazine contains the latest safety information and advisories on changes in faa regulations affecting skydivers; discussions and analyses of safety issues, including facilities; news of advances in equipment and techniques; service advisories on equipment; and state-of-the-art information on training, meets and rules of competition.
Safety and training - uspa staff, working with the boards' safety and training committee, develop safety standards and promote compliance with those standards. Uspa develops courses that certify instructors who can then conduct first-jump course training and novice training. Through uspa's monthly parachutist magazine and monthly email, newsletters, uspa seeks to continuously educate skydiver's about developments in techniques and equipment.
Membership services - expenditures are made for staff, data processing, and membership printing costs, incurred to provide members with cards, ratings, licenses, and awards, all of which enhance the safety of the sport. Skydivers who become members of uspa are tracked as they progress through the various accomplishment levels. Many skydiving centers require jumpers to have a current uspa membership and an "a" license. This ensures that the member is familiar with the basic safety requirements and will try to adhere to them.
Competition - expenditures are made for staff to manage all aspects of skydiving competition and record-setting; to oversee the uspa national championships and award medals; to observe, validate, issue and archive state, national, and world skydiving records; and to manage the selection; equipping, training and participation of the United States Parachute team in international sky
