Whether you’re a newly licensed skydiver or someone considering taking the plunge, understanding what you can do with each level of licensure will help you understand what each license does and open the door to set goals for your skydiving future!
A-LICENSE
With your A license in hand, you’ve proven your proficiency in basic freefall and canopy maneuvers. Now, you have the freedom to jump with other licensed skydivers and explore different skydiving centers. Skydive Chicago welcomes A-license holders to join our vibrant community.. Whether you’re looking to perfect your skills, build camaraderie, or simply enjoy the thrill of the jump, there’s always something exciting happening at our dropzone.
B-LICENSE
Earning your B license not only signifies your competence in skydiving but also unlocks a whole new realm of experiences. One of the B-license requirements is to partake in water training because some jumps happen near water, such as at an exotic event. At Skydive Chicago, we offer unique opportunities like our Castaway boogie in Puerto Rico, where you can dive into the Caribbean skies surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Additionally, B-license holders can partake in night jumps, conquer specialty aircraft like hot air balloons and helicopters, and even pursue a USPA coach rating after reaching 100 jumps.
C-LICENSE
For those seeking to push the boundaries of traditional skydiving, the C license is your ticket to new adventures. With this achievement, you can take into the awe inspiring wingsuit flying, capturing breathtaking footage with a camera during your jumps, and even pursue instructor ratings such as a Coach rating. Skydive Chicago offers support for C-license holders looking to elevate their skills and share their passion for the sport with others.
D-LICENSE
As the pinnacle of skydiving achievement, the D license opens doors to becoming a true ambassador for the sport. Whether you aspire to guide newcomers through their first tandem jumps as a tandem instructor or mentor aspiring skydivers through AFF instruction, the D license is your gateway to making a lasting impact on the skydiving community. Skydive Chicago offers courses and mentorship programs for D-license holders looking to pursue instructor ratings and take their skydiving journey to the next level.
Earning your skydiving license is just the beginning of an extraordinary adventure. With each level of licensure, you’ll unlock new opportunities to soar, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the skies.
