Cornholio 0 #7 November 27, 2002 Congrats on the License!! However.... I believe it is suggested or mandatory ( forget which one) that you have made 2 night jumps prior to the midnite jump on New Years Eve since there will not be a full moon out. Can anyone from Eloy back me up on this or am I just blowing smoke ??Otherwise, I might be up for my pre-second night jump at Eloy too!! Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #8 November 27, 2002 I don't know what Eloy's policies are concerning us "B" License holders who have yet to do any night jumps, but I'll be breaking FAR 91.17 if I jump on New Years Eve.

Well according to skydive Arizona's web site.... http://www.skydiveaz.com/night_jumps.htm QuoteDo not plan on making a jump on New Year's Eve unless you have at least two previous night jumps and are jumping a canopy you can comfortably land in darkness and in any wind conditions.
