USPA is located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, 50 miles south of Washington, D.C., along Interstate 95. The government relations staff at USPA Headquarters includes aviation governing professionals. USPA maintains access at the highest level of the FAA and federal government. These important human resources defend skydiving from those in government and industry who believe U.S. airports and airspace should be reserved for major commercial interests.
