Re: [airtwardo] Should WE demand "standardized wingsuit training via USPA"
In reply to:
This parallels his (and many other people's) belief that you should not need a wingsuit instructor rating to instruct licensed skydivers in wingsuiting.
In reply to:
Because UNLIKE all other areas of aviation, licensed Skydivers are just 'born' with skills & knowledge allowing for transition to more complex equipment & procedures...without needing to concern themselves about experienced instruction or performance standards evaluation.
So you'd like a PRO-I, PRO I/E and PRO-course director rating from USPA to train people to get PRO ratings - no one is born knowing how to get a PRO rating.
Ditto for freeflying - no-one is born knowing how to freefly.
Ditto for CRW - no one is born knowing how to do CRW.
Ditto for skysurfing - no-one is born knowing how to jump a board.
Ditto for pond surfing - no-one is born knowing how to do that.
What a lot of new USPA ratings you want.
