Anybody know off-hand if I need an AAD jump jump in Spain?



Right-o, forgot about that one :S

In some countries AAD are mandatory, either for all jumpers or up to a specific license. Also mind that is some countries specific AADs may not be allowed. In France an AAD is mandatory for all jumpers, The Netherlands mandatory up to C license, Belgium: mandatory, Germany, frankly no idea, Spain: in Empuria AADs are mandatory, don't know if that is the case for the whole of Spain.

In some countries the RIG has to have liability insurance. (as best I understand it) USPA member insurance isn't good enough. In Austria, the only European country I jumped in, I contacted the DZO before the trip. He was a USPA AFF/Tandem instructor so familiar with USPA. I think we both knew I didn't meet the requirements. But he asked if I had insurance. I said yes, as he didn't ask what kind. And with an unspoken (or unperformed nudge, nudge, wink, wink I got on the airplane. This was a small DZ not used to foreign jumpers.

But jumping in the Alps in the Inn Valley was kewl!

This is a new one to me:

To jump to Skydive Empuriabrava it is mandatory for all skydivers to have a working AAD fitted to their rigs.

There rental Cypres
Price: 2 € / day + instalation
The price of the instalatión can vary between 70 to 125 €, depending on if the equipment has got the pre-instalation not.
In order to rent a Cypres a deposit of 1088 € is required (it can be done by credit card)

I jumped in Germany for the first time this summer at Pullout Skydive (great operation). Bring your logbook and expect a thorough gear check. USPA card wouldn't hurt, but isn't it in your wallet anyway? :DThey're much more lax about letting people jump over there. Show 'em your jump numbers, fill out a quick contact info sheet and you should be on your way up. Kinda like Lodi, except you have to fill out one paper :P
