SweCow 0 #1 November 11, 2004 Does USPA have a specific exam or does the DZs make their own? Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koz2000 1 #2 November 11, 2004 There is no written exam. It's an more of an oral exam. Look in the SIM. All you need is you proficiency card filled and stamped to get an A.______________________________________________ - Does this small canopy make my balls look big? - J.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #3 November 11, 2004 Like Dave said, there is no longer a written exam for the A-license. There is a verbal exam. The completed and stamped A-license proficiency card is the A-license. No need to send it in to USPA at all unless the person wants a number. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tspillers 0 #4 November 12, 2004 The SIM Sec. 4 has the oral exam. Some DZ's make their own written exam and this is acceptable for USPA A license requirements. Todd I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lug 4 #5 November 13, 2004 tspillers is correct and to add what he has said, DZ can make a written exam with the questions coming from the same source as the oral exam, Categories A through H.

If he wants to jump with other jumpers....or travel to another DZ and be allowed to jump...me thinks he'll need his 'A' license from USPA. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
