hankusaurelius 0 #1 December 10, 2012 I've been hearing this rumor the B license jump requirement is going up to 100 January 1st, but the local DZ's S&TA says he has not heard anything like that. True or False? Edit: Are the B license requirements changing the first of the year, and if so what is changing?

The A Licence Proficiency Card, completed, signed, and stamped, is now only good for 60 days as a temporary license. If the skydiver applies for their B license during that 60 day period, the temporary license can be used as proof of an A license. Beyond that 60 days, the A License Proficiency Card/Application has to be sent to USPA for processing and assignment of a number.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites juggalo17 0 #4 December 10, 2012 Hey Hank the only one who has heard that rumor is Seth (and people who have heard it from him). No one else can find any reference to a change coming. I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point.

Who? ;) I heard it from several jumpers. Edit: "The 50 Jump Requirement will not change. There are no planned changes at this time." -USPA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
