kevin922 0 #9 November 26, 2002 QuoteAggieDave, A->D in one easy step, and used the $40 saved for jumps... You can't do that can you? You have to have 2 night jumps for d and can't do night jumps without a B, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #10 November 26, 2002 Quote A->D in one easy step Yep...I got an A just to get it. Skipped the B and got a C. Can't remember exactly why but there was some reason. Coach rating maybe. Then finally got my D a couple months ago. I too saved $40 that was UNDOUBTEDLY spent on jumps... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #11 November 26, 2002 Quote can't do night jumps without a B That's a "reccomendation" not a hard and fast rule. I guess it depends on your S&TA and DZO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #12 November 26, 2002 Quotecan't do night jumps without a B, right? actually, you can do night jumps without a B at the discretion of your DZO as long as you have a B equivalent...ie. fulfilled all the requirements But don't you have to take ALL the written tests?

AggieDave 6 #13 November 26, 2002 Quote guess it depends on your S&TA and DZO. It does. Most will let you jump "B qualified" if they know you (read: know you're a safe jumper who will handle themselves accordingly).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

MyUserID 0 #14 November 26, 2002 Hey, I have 43 jumps and NO license. Not that I have made an attempt to get one yet. ------------------------------------------------------ Remember kids, eagles may soar, but at least weasels dont get sucked into jet engines.

AggieDave 6 #15 November 26, 2002 Yeah, you have to take the tests, those are simple. You save $20 per license by not actually getting one, though, so for people like me, that extra $40 helps out a lot.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Snowbird 0 #19 November 26, 2002 CSPA (As in Canadian) A#10124. Yes I can type.Different rules, different qualifications. Things like, now I can jump with people who aren't coach 2's, so that I can work on my qualifications for my B. I don't know much about USPA progression, but I've gotten the impression that CSPA is more methodical, with more requirements at the lower licensing levels.

freeflir29 0 #20 November 26, 2002 Silly Canadians.... Sorry....Like a dummy i assumed it was a USPA license. Don't worry.....all this confusion will go away in Sep 03 when the jump number requirements for USPA licenses will be the same as everyone elses. Good thing I already have a D lic.

AggieDave 6 #21 November 26, 2002 Blame Canada! I was assuming it was USPA too... Yeah, I'm glad I've already got my D, but I guess it wouldn't matter since I'll have 500 jumps before September anyways. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
