Why keep a skydiving logbook? Logbooks are part of a skydiver's core documentation. Your logbook proves, through the written confirmation of other rated skydivers’ witness to your performance, that you have the experience you purport. It provides each new drop zone you visit with proof to back your skydiving licenses, ratings and currency.(In the absence of this proof, they will likely not allow you to jump at their facility.) It helps you organize the numeric statistics of your skydiving in an easy-to-follow format. 1, record 5, English, - skydiving%20logbook

Companion Rescue refers to the actions taken by fellow group members if an individual is buried. Experience and statistics show that fully buried avalanche victims who are still alive when the avalanche stops moving must be found out quickly(within 15 minutes) to have reasonable chances of survival... In light of this, the efforts of the people who survive and/or witness an accident are crucial to the survival of victims. If the companion rescue fails to find buried victims, it is likely that organized rescue teams will arrive too late to make a live recovery. 2, record 11, English, - companion%20rescue

Par opération de sauvetage de compagnon, il faut entendre ce que les autres membres d'un groupe doivent faire lorsqu'un des leurs a été enseveli par une avalanche.
