Which item is listed on the left side of the Jump Record Form (JRF)?

• A. Aeronautical Orders (AO)
• B. Individual Data Summary (IDS)
• C. Jump History Report (JHR)
• D. Individual Jump Record (IJR)

Answer: (A)

The left side of the Jump Record Form is where you place items that authorize and direct the operation. Aeronautical Orders contain the official directives that govern the flight and jump, including the authority under which the jump is performed. Having this on the left makes the authorization immediately visible and verifiable before the jump, which is why it’s the best choice for that side. The other items listed are records generated about the jump or the jumper, not pre‑flight authorization. Jump History Report, Individual Jump Record, and Individual Data Summary are typically used to document what happened during or after the jump, so they belong on the right side or in separate record sections rather than the left.
