cshroy 0 #2 October 27, 2008 Good god! If he won't even show you his license don't bother checking him out. JUSTQuote DON'T USE HIM!!!!Corndog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites pringles 0 #3 October 27, 2008 Try this. You will have to first enter some info about yourself then it will let you into the database to search.

When you get your rig back from your rigger, you have to TRUST that all is well under that red thread. If you have to check his credentials on the www because he won't produce them.... you two don't have that trust established. Without trust, I wouldn't use him even if he is officially rated by the FAA. I know at least one rated rigger who I don't trust. I don't let him work on my gear. Some folks have asked me "Why?". Because of his behavior, I simply don't trust him.... plain and simple. There is a reason that the very first element of the Boy Scout Law is that a "Scout is trustworthy". Without honor, what else do you have?The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

Also know that the date issued may not be the initial license. If he added a rating or master it will be the date of the last change. So if he tells you he's been a rigger for 20 years and it only shows 5 that may be why. Frankly I've never had anybody ask, but I'd be glad to show them if I had it with me. I DON'T routinely have it with me away from home.I'm old for my age.

I told him I didn't carry it with me & that it was home in a secure place. He did NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL. He 'politely' informed me that anytime that I practiced rigging I must have my license with me. OOOOOPSIE He also was a decent guy and 'suggested' that I put in a for a replacement license due to loss and then I would have one for a secure place and one to carry with me. Just a little tip for those who might be interested, JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites councilman24 37 #7 October 27, 2008 I rarely rig away from home, so not violating anything. I think it's a stretch to interpret any regulation or advisory that I can find that you have to carry it. You have to present it if requested. Something else to argue about! (not necessarily you and I but dz.com) I DID know I had to surrender the old one when I added a rating and got a master ticket. I'm old for my age.

Let me explain...I was a military rigger and don't need someone else to touch my gear.The problem become when this guy(DZ manager)grounded some jumpers because their reserves wasn't pack by FAA rigger.(these jumpers are not USA citizens so I don't think that they need FAA rigger.The DZ is group member on USPA,but is not located in USA).He said that they can jump,but after reserve repack,and because he's a FAA rigger,the problem can be solved for a small fee(40 euros) know the guy and I know his "rigging" skills.That's why I wrote this post.
