Local Rigger Search

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a website or database that lists local riggers for different areas? I know I can find the closest DZ by searching this website or USPA's and then ask whoever answers the phone, but I'm looking for something more structured? The closest DZ to me now is about 2 hours away and I'd like to be able to dropoff/pickup my rig at the closest rigger's house (or 'day job') without such a drive if I'm not out to jump that day.

It would be nice if there was a central (searchable) site that riggers could input their own contact information and location data. Any ideas?

I don't know who owns the Rigminder web site, but it does have a function to "locate a rigger." I'm just not sure how many riggers have actually listed themselves on the web site.

The link is http://www.rigminder.net/index.asp.

Just thought I would share there are about 100 riggers listed on Rigminder.

Unfortunantly, PIA's website is temporarily down.

PIA.com

I think it's close to what you're looking for.

This requires that you search by name, but it will list the ratings an airman has, and possibly their address:
https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmeninquiry/

Or you could download this large file and find all the information you want. Someone could parse this, create a searchable website, and keep it up to date.

It would also be nice if someone parsed all the databases and made a way to locate a rigger by seal. I'd do this, but I'm lazy and don't have a visible website.

Or someone could ask the FAA to make their website more user friendly. The FAA is there to help.;)
