nopurpose 0 #1 September 4, 2007 I currently have 12 jumps: 3 Tandems, AFF 1-7 (I did AFF 4 & 5 in one shot), High and Low Solo, and one relax dive. I will be going on travel for work from the 10th to about the 28th, and I do not want to stop jumping during this time. I will be staying in Newport News, Virginia and the closest DZ is in Suffolk. I currently have been jumping at Cross Keys, and as part of my requirements for A license I need 5 coach jumps. Should I, or better yet, can I do coach jumps at another DZ? Should I just stick to relaz dives? I need to talk to my instructors at CK before I leave but any advice would be helpful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broke 0 #3 September 4, 2007 YOu should be able to do coached jumps at another DZ, but you might want to call them firstDivot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #4 September 5, 2007 Without your A license, you can probably expect to be required to first do, and pay for, a "proof-of-the-pudding" jump with an instructor at the new DZ. I may be a Level 7 jump or simply a show me this-and-that jump. They could, and IMO, should do so.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

I may be a Level 7 jump or simply a show me this-and-that jump. They could, and IMO, should do so. But we've also seen the rare DZ that require that jump to be a FULL PRICE AFF dive. Best to call first to see if he can expect to be $crewed. Someone 'cleared to jump solo' shouldn't have to go through that. And if he's willing to hire a "coach" then so much the better. ...
