USPA SIM vs SkydiveX

USPA Skydiver's Information Manual (SIM) The United States Parachute Association's Skydiver's Information Manual provides basic skydiving standards (the Basic Safety Requirements) and recommendations agreed upon by USPA members for the conduct of safe and enjoyable skydiving. It also describes the programs USPA administers to recognize individuals for their expertise, ability to train others, and proficiency or tenure in the sport. Although the SIM provides much basic information for skydivers, each jumper should research further and consult USPA and industry officials, documents, and other produced media, as well as other reliable individuals for clarification and additional information. USPA MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS MANUAL. PEOPLE RELYING THEREON DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK.

SkydiveX brings the jump-day information skydivers use most into one focused experience. Choose from 146 drop zones in a catalog organized into eight global regions. Review current conditions, forecasts, winds aloft, local time, and drop zone details without jumping between multiple tools. Built for jump-day awareness - Current weather and multi-level winds aloft - Easy switching between drop zones and regions - Embedded public Burble manifests where available - Drop zone and nearby airport camera sources where available - Aviation-inspired 3D airport views using published runway data - Reviewed landing-area overlays for supported locations - Surface-wind visualization with a responsive windsock - Imperial and metric unit options Manifest, camera, weather, and aviation information can change or become temporarily unavailable. SkydiveX provides supplemental planning information only and is not a substitute for official aviation weather, current drop zone briefings, training, regulations, or professional judgment. Always verify conditions and operational decisions with your drop zone, instructors, pilots, and official sources before jumping or flying.
