saxboy 0 #1 July 23, 2010 Hello there! I have a quick but also a silly question for you. A friend of mine went to a new DZ in our country to make some jumps. The guy in the DZ told him that he must do a check dive first, because his USPA membership was expired...??? The question is: The A',B',C',D' LICENCES are expired???? NOT the membership...the licence... I mean you still need a check dive after a 3,4,5...10 months from a delay or a pause from jumps... My friend was current skydiver. I am not asking this.. My opinion is that it is not expired... Can you inform me about that,or better if you have an official link from USPA to print it.. Thank you in advance . Blue skies.

The membership and the insurance for third is valid only for USA with this card right?? Here we have to pay another insurance and of cource membership for the DZ. We have 2-3 DZs here and we have to pay membership and insurance for each DZ... It is like your driver license,or a school degree.... You don't have to do the same exams every year to renew your license...:-))) YOU HAVE IT and it is valid FOR EVER... I think the same think is with our license. We have the paper with the signatures from our instructors and it says that I am,he-she is able to jump alone etc... Am I wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glitch 0 #6 July 23, 2010 You would be correct. I had a D license and took a short 16 yr hiatus before coming back to the sport. Upon my USPA membership renewal, all of my licenses were as valid as the day I earned them.Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
