One Day with the Golden Knights Style & Accuracy Team:

# 14 in a series of videos featured on the Aviation Trail Parachute Museum Theater

In preparation for the 2010 Nationals, the Golden Knights Style and Accuracy Team trains in classic accuracy at Laurinburg, North Carolina. Classic or precision accuracy is a parachuting discipline in which a competitor makes their first point of contact with their heel on a electronic scoring pad in the center of a tuffet. The scoring pad is typically black with a one centimeter yellow dot in the center. The pad is thirty two centimeters across or roughly the size of a medium pizza. The competitors are scored in centimeters. If the jumpers hits the exact center, they receive a zero for the round. The further to the edge the contact is made, the higher the centimeters, all the way to sixteen. At the end of a ten round or ten jump meet, the competitor with the lowest score is the winner. In this video, you see only three jumps of a ten to fifteen jump day. Special thanks to the pilots and competitors. Video shot by SSG Chris Acevedo, compiled by SSG Laura Dickmeyer.
