Matt A 'D' license is not required to be an AAF-I. He was saying that you could do AFF-I duty for a few years, but if you want to progress to tandem, you have to get your D (and the required night jumps)"I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a Different type of rating, but does require the "D" License. I disagree with the "Tandem Only" restricted license any way. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety.

matthewcline 0 #31 April 21, 2011 QuoteNo. Night jump requirement is one solo, one group, minimum. Tandem is neither of those. You might be thinking of an end-of-day tandem jump which pushed the daylight limits. Unless it was pushed back at least on hour past sunset it doesn't qualify as a night jump anyway. Incorrect as per the USPA SIM 6-4 A 4 and 5 http://www.uspa.org/SIM/Read/Section6/tabid/169/Default.aspx#979 Sunset is Sunset. One hour after is for records. And in another BSR ALL Student jumps are to be done by Sunset. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Matt To clarify a Jump after sunset is a night jump for the log book, but the SIM states for it to be a License Requirement or record it needs to be conducted one hour after Sunset and done prior to one hour before sunrise. So in theory one could have a hundred night jumps before making one for their license "Properly". MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

So I guess you could have those 100 night jumps on state and national records, and still not have them qualify you for your D license night jumps. Details, details, details.
