Void425 0 #1 October 22, 2002 What type of license does it require for a person to legally be able to jump and land in a place other then a designated DZ? Lets say, your own front yard? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #2 October 22, 2002 It really does depend on how big your back yard is, and any obstacles located around it, and whether there are any ATC restrictions in place etc etc..... Looking at your profile you have relatively few jumps, I would stick to proper 'supervised' DZs until you have mastered the skills required to survive 'Demonstration' jumping like this... Try a search for the word Demo, Demonstration, and 'Pro Rating' etc....-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

ernokaikkonen 0 #3 October 22, 2002 Here in Finland, a C-license is all you need, as long as you have permission from the land owner. Aviation regulations have to be respected of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cop 0 #4 October 22, 2002 And don't forget to call the police. About 1 hour before is enough (hehehe), we have court decision from Helsinki. "You can call me Mike" "You can call me Mike" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #5 October 22, 2002 In Hämeenlinna the police are used to calls about people falling out of planes... I don't think we've ever called them beforehand when I was on the load. Wouldn't be a bad idea of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cop 0 #6 October 22, 2002 Trööt! Might be I'm wrong but you must call to the police in proper time before jump elsewhere than airfield. See regulations and local orders... That's because if police gets panic calls from people, they know the proper situation. You know; old lady with Fifi-dog calling "Russian paratroopers, they are coming, they are coming!!!"

You know; old lady with Fifi-dog calling "Russian >paratroopers, they are coming, they are coming!!!" Yeah I know. The police in Hämeenlinna know about our parachuting antics, so they can calm down the little old lady from Karjala without us calling them... Like I said, we don't make any advance calls(at least not usually), and we've never gotten any shit. Now that I think about it... I think we used to call, but the cops in Hämeenlinna finally got fed up with the calls and said "Yeah, yeah, we know, you jump, you land, why do you keep calling us?" or something to that effect... Then again I could be completely wrong, I last jumped to Hämeenlinna a year ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Push 0 #8 October 22, 2002 In Canada you need a C license plus an exhibition jump rating. The EJR involves an instructor evaluating you I believe, probably something similar to the Coach license. Probably different in other countries though. Here, you will have a bunch of people with a stack of mattresses running under you trying to catch you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMFin 0 #10 October 22, 2002 QuoteHere in Finland, a C-license is all you need, as long as you have permission from the land owner. Aviation regulations have to be respected of course. I think "a land crew" is also mandatory . (somebody with a radio or a mobile) Also keep in mind that finnish C-license is not similar with USPA C-license. Here C-license is basically comparable to USPA A-license. (correct me if Im mistaken) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #11 October 22, 2002 >Here C-license is basically comparable to USPA A-license. The Finnish C is closer to the USPA D then the A. The A is at 20 jumps and just clears a person to jump alone and JM themself in USPA Terms. The D is 200 jumps, etc. The updated requirements will bump the USPA up to meet the international standerds.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
