sfzombie13 307 #4 July 11, 2020 you don't have to take the canopy course, you just need the proficiency card signed off. i just got my b last week this way. the s&ta watched from the ground while i did the things listed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfzombie13 307 #6 July 13, 2020 i doubt it since the comment above said it didn't have to be a uspa dz to have the other course. you said in your comment that the canopy course is required for a b license and it is not required, only the card is. pretty sure the instructor can conduct a course in an open field if the required notam is filed and the field meets the requirements in the sim for the appropriate license.

Only with special clearance from headquarters. Under normal circumstance, group member drop zone is required. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weldingninja41 11 #8 October 7, 2020 You can hold coach and instructor ratings courses at non group member dz's. For a fee payable to the USPA. It really always comes down to money. We held both coach and IAD and Static line courses at our bon memeber dz. Paid a huge fee to do so. Money.. Also canopy courses can be conducted by anyone. They do not even need to be a member of the USPA. they have to be approved by an S&TA or the like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skypilotA1 67 #9 October 7, 2020 I have held many courses at a non-group member DZ, simply pay a fee to USPA. I helped get the fee reduced. I am happy to send you details if you wish. Paul Gholson USPA Southern Regional Director 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
