I'm not an official, so i can't give you a clear, binding answer. my take: as the type (icarus safire 2) is listed it should be ok. besides that: nobody hereabout gives a shit about these things anyway so what about switzerland?

Well done america, what a great role model you are...
feuergnom replied to rhys's topic in Speakers Corner
You can take any isolated incident and use it to one's viewpoints advantage. It's not until you look at the big picture that one can see the true positive or negative impact. Do you not agree the Iraqi people as a whole are much better off now than they were 10 years ago? normaly I'm a polite person: But could you possibly get your head out of your ass and start thinking for yourself rather than repeating your countrys propaganda????

Hi Guys & Gals I know that this has been asked already over time, but after visiting a DZ outside of Austria last weekend, we came to realise, that the rules had changed over the winter and we spent quite some time arguing over rules before being able to jump So to spare travelling European/International jumpers unnecessary hassles - not having the right papers with you wont get you in the plane in some places. I am asking you to help me put together this comprehensive list for jumpers worldwide. Thanks for your input and effort! If I forgot something feel free to add necessary points 1) Third party insurance (what kind of insurance papers do you have to have): 2) Licence (Valid through/expiry date? Indefintly valid?): 3) Ownership (do you have to carry some kind of “statement of ownership”? If yes: please explain) 4) Reserve (Described on packing card or extra paper? Serial or no serial? Lead-Seal required etc): 4 a) Repack cycles in your country? Do you accept other countries rules?: 5) AAD (Described on packing card? Serial or no serial needed? Maintainance cycle on packing card or extra paper?: 6) Main (Described on packing card? Serial or no serial needed?): 7) Gear/Container (Described on packing card? Serial or no serial needed?: 8) Who states the airworthiness? (Where? Packing card?): 9) Who is responsible for the airworthiness? (Rigger/Owner, etc?): Needed Paperwork for Austria: In principle Austrian authorities accept the rules of other countries – whatever works in your home country is fine for our authorities, which gives you a max of freedom 1. Third party insurance: Card from insurance company (like USPA-3rd party insurance) 2. Licence: Visiting jumper must show a valid licence recognised in their home country 3. Ownership: No separate papers needed in Austria 4. Reserve: Last packjob signed off by a rigger on the packing card (no lead seal required) 4a) Repacking cycle is 1 year in austria 5. Main: Must be listed by the Austrian Aeroclub (www.aeroclub.at --> FAA Technik --> Liste der zulässigen Hauptfallschirme, Liste der zugelässigen Gurtzeuge, Reservefallschirme, Öffnungsautomaten und Rettungsfallschirme) 6. AAD: No extra papers (maintenance cycle according to owners manual, there has to be no extra records for maintainance!) 7. Gear/Container: Parts must be listed by the Austrian Aeroclub (see point 6) No extra paperwork needed 8. Who states the airworthiness? Rigger by date of last repack on packing card – no extra paperwork needed 9. Who is responsible for the airworthiness? Owner of rig edit: I also posted this message in the spanish, russian and french forum for greater input The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

With how many jumps is it ok to follow out tandems?
feuergnom replied to fizzbuzz99's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
are you shopping for an answer that you already have? yes, there is a strong wording from UPT - but -IMHO- one has to do the reading between the lines. with recommendations being so high it would be hard to generate upcomming video folks. I think they simply stand for one thing: don't take any other jerk you have no idea who he is and what he is capable of along The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 -

feuergnom replied to fizzbuzz99's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i guess it boils down to the flying skills and if you know the person who's willing to join you. if i find myself inthe situation where i am not sure, the "chaser" (isn't there another term???) exits first as a back-floater/video slot - this will give me the advantage of timing the exit to my needs and i don't have to worry of someone living on my back usually additional jumpers are handpicked and thoroughly briefed - so i handle things in exact the same way how i was treated The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 -
thank you for the roses

my first-hand experience / 0,2's from last weekend: I spent some hours in the tunnel and we had a complete novice with us - he had never jumped before and he did his first tunnel lessons. at the end of his training he was able to level to some extent, turn and stop and do some other basic maneuvers. granted: as we were such a big group there was not much time for thorough "ground-training" between the slots (and nobody wanted to interfere with the tunnel-instructors eaching) - so his progression was slow. afterwards i thought: hell, if i had tought him in a skydiving environment, he would have made a much faster and better progression because there is simple a lot more time between jumps where you can actually train somebody to perform in the air. and that is imho the big difference between learning in the tunnel and learning in the air The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

at least one jump with I/E, lenghty ground review/brief - I/E will surely dish out some tasks to handle on ground and in air as for the chicken handles: afaik they are mandatory on strongs - and i see no good reason for NOT using them The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

happy to have it the other way round - they team I do tandems with works by the book

"Time-In-Sport" as criterion for instructional ratings?

"Time-In-Sport" as criterion for instructional ratings?
feuergnom replied to GLIDEANGLE's topic in Instructors
Perhaps.... perhaps not. I held my coach rating for much longer than a year before undertaking the AFF course because even tho I had the time required, I didn't feel I was ready. Had I been told I had to wait a year, like most people, I wouldn't have wanted to and the year fixation might have made me challenge the course sooner, if that makes any sense. If not on my personal experiences, what should be the foundation of my opinion? looking how fast you went from scratch to your various ratings and how outspoken you are on most topics I would certainly say that I sometimes wonder if you are really as "experienced" as you state to be - hence the question on bias The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 -
just curious: how did you handle things when you were a rookie TI fresh out of TICC? The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

and you don't think your opinion is a little bit biased while looking at your own quick progression, do you? The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 -
real fun is overdue - shots were taken from video filmed through the window - so dont complain about the quality of the pics but focus on the terrific flying skills of the participants The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

after reading all this (and it is a great read with heaps of information!) i have come to relise that the things in my corner of the woods (rigging-wise) are rather simplistic if not pathetic - everybody feels entitled to do what he pleases and the authorities are f*****g clueless even if some of you might bitch & moan on how unclear things are (should we stick to poynter, reid or the FAA?): at least you are able to discuss things on high standards and "cowboy-riggers" seem to be the exception rather than the norm The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666
