A12 0 #1 June 26, 2002 I'm not sure if I am just not looking in the right place or not, but I am trying to find out info on the different licenses and what they allow and don't allow. I know there at A, B, C and D but I don't know what the differences are...any help? Thanks! Adam If you want to fly, get out of the plane!

TomAiello 26 #4 June 26, 2002 In terms of what they allow: Most dropzones won't let you do anything but Solos until you are licensed. Some dropzones have different rules for different licenses in terms of what they'll let you do (i.e. nothing over a 4-way until you have a 'B' or something like that). My home DZ makes you land at a student landing area (a bus ride away) until you get a 'B' license. It's all dependent on the dropzone you are at. Your best bet is to ask the people at the DZ you're learning at what the restrictions are there, because those are going to be the first ones you run up against.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
