According to Basic Safety Requirements, what is the maximum ground wind speed for B-licensed skydivers?

10 mph
30 mph
Unlimited
20 mph

The correct answer is: Unlimited

In the context of skydiving, the Basic Safety Requirements outline safety protocols for jumpers, including wind limits for various license levels. For B-licensed skydivers, there is actually no defined maximum ground wind speed. A B-licensed skydiver is expected to make more informed and autonomous decisions based on their experience and situational awareness. While wind conditions can affect stability and control during a jump, the specifics around wind limits can depend on various factors like the jump location, the type of jump being performed, and the jumper’s experience. Thus, a B-licensed skydiver is trusted to evaluate the wind conditions personally without a strict upper limit imposed by the regulations. This flexibility allows experienced jumpers to assess their ability to handle different wind speeds and make safer choices tailored to their skill level and comfort in varying conditions.
