Skylark 0 #1 November 22, 2007 ...and I haven't jumped for 2 years. Will start jumping again in 2 weeks. How much of a re-train will I need? Check out jump? Ground school again? Or will I be ok?

Skylark 0 #3 November 22, 2007 Yes I know but I'm asking for other people's opinions too. Anyone else? "Into the dangerous world I leapt..." William Blake, Songs of Experience Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rygon 0 #4 November 22, 2007 its fucking freezing...waiting a few mnths aint going to make any difference. If you can, get a chance to jump with an instructor...you may think you can jump again ok but having someone else there will give you peace of mind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 4 #5 November 23, 2007 It is far better to start 50% too easy than to start 1% too hard. I had a multi-year layoff, more than once. Each time I came to the DZ ready and willing to do whatever the instructors said, without complaint. It is vastly better to be conservative in these matters. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstime 0 #6 November 23, 2007 what would you be comfortable with aside from the DZ's standards, I would ask to do a a jump with an AFFI with a video. Just my personal opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #8 November 23, 2007 Quote...and I haven't jumped for 2 years. Will start jumping again in 2 weeks. Congrats on getting back in the air! QuoteHow much of a re-train will I need? Minimum: -EP review and testing -Gear check by rigger -Repack by rigger -Procedure training if you are jumping a different system than what you are used to. -Procedure training if you are jumping a different aircraft than what you are used to. QuoteCheck out jump? Yes. With an Instructor or at the least, a Coach. QuoteGround school again? -See above. -Whatever additional makes you comfortable. QuoteOr will I be ok? Yes, I'm pretty sure...but that depends on you and how you approach your return. Call your DZ to get their take and requirements.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
