​
Overview

The Manifest system is the central hub for daily skydiving operations. Create manifests for each day, plan loads, assign skydivers to aircraft positions, and track completed jumps. Ensure smooth operations and proper organization.

​
Key Features

Daily Manifests

Create manifests for each operational day. Plan loads and organize skydivers for efficient operations.

Load Planning

​
Load Planning

​
Creating Loads

1

Add Load

In your manifest, click Add Load or New Load.
2

Set Load Details

Configure load:
  • Load Number - Sequential load number
  • Scheduled Time - When load will go up
  • Jump Altitude - Altitude for this load
  • Aircraft - Which aircraft
  • Load Type - Solo, tandem, formation, etc.
3

Assign Skydivers

Add skydivers to load:
  1. Search for skydivers
  2. Verify currency and licenses
  3. Add to load
  4. Assign aircraft position
  5. Set jump order
Group skydivers by experience level and discipline. This helps with safety and organization.
4

Set Jump Order

Organize jump sequence:
  • First out (usually most experienced)
  • Middle positions
  • Last out
  • Consider formations and groups
Jump order affects aircraft loading. Plan carefully to ensure efficient operations.
5

Save Load

Save the load. It appears on the manifest and is ready for operations.

​
Load Types

Different load types for different purposes:
  • Solo Loads - Individual skydivers
  • Tandem Loads - Tandem jumps with instructors
  • Formation Loads - Formation skydiving groups
  • Student Loads - Training jumps
  • Mixed Loads - Combination of types

Aircraft Assignment

​
Assigning Positions

1

View Aircraft Layout

See aircraft seating/loading configuration:
  • Available positions
  • Position numbers
  • Loading order
  • Special positions (door, etc.)
2

Assign Skydivers

Assign skydivers to positions:
  1. Select skydiver
  2. Choose position
  3. Consider jump order
  4. Verify assignments
3

Plan Loading Sequence

Organize loading order:
  • First to load (last out)
  • Middle positions
  • Last to load (first out)
Loading sequence is critical for safety. First-out skydivers should load last to be near the door.

​
Position Management

See all position assignments:
  • Who’s in each position
  • Jump order
  • Load organization
  • Special requirements
Adjust assignments:
  • Move skydivers between positions
  • Change jump order
  • Reorganize loads
  • Update as needed
Remove skydivers:
  • Individual removal
  • Bulk removal
  • Automatic position reassignment

​
Jump Tracking

​
Recording Jumps

1

Mark Jump Complete

After a load completes:
  1. Open the load
  2. Click Complete Jump or mark individual skydivers
  3. Record jump completion
2

Best Practices

1

Plan Ahead

Create manifests the day before or early in the morning. This allows skydivers to see their assignments.
2

Group by Experience

Organize loads by experience level when possible. This improves safety and jump quality.
3

Verify Before Jumping

Always verify skydiver status before allowing jumps. Don’t skip safety checks.
4

Update in Real-Time

Update manifest as operations progress. Keep information current for everyone.
5

Document Issues

Record any problems or incidents. This helps improve operations and safety.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verify skydiver meets currency requirements
  • Check license is current
  • Ensure gear inspections are valid
  • Verify load capacity isn’t full
  • Check skydiver isn’t already assigned
  • Check all required fields are filled
  • Verify date is correct
  • Ensure you have permission to create manifests
  • Try refreshing the page
  • Review error messages
  • Verify jumps are being marked complete
  • Check skydiver is correctly assigned
  • Ensure jump date matches manifest date
  • Review jump recording process
