Elisha 1 #1 July 10, 2005 Hello, I've been lurking for a few days and thought I'd finally post - especially since I actually have a question. First, I've been skydiving for around 3 years now (on and off, but "on" for now and the foreseeable future) and have about 75 jumps. I recently bought my first rig - a rental from the DZO that I'd jumped a few times. It is a Vector container with a Sabre2-150 main, but no RSL (AAD included of course). It definitely works for me. My wingloading is just a hair above 1, about 1.05. Anyway, to the point, I still do not have my A-License. I've really just been procrastinating, but I know I should just get it. When I did my first tandem back in 2002, they gave me the old 4 page (2 pages front and back) ISP card. I have it mostly filled out, pretty much just need a couple of dates filled in and an instructor to give me the 20 question quiz and stamp it so I can fax it in to the USPA. Well, my original instructor for AFF (the DZO who I bought the rig from) hates the old card and thinks the newer card is simpler and just better. Anyone know if the USPA will have an issue with an old card that has signatures on it over a couple year span? I think I'll try to just get it over with sometime this summer. Blue skies. Btw, my username is my middle name and I'm a MALE! Think Old Testament Prophet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #2 July 10, 2005 Elisha, Both the four page card (ISP version) and two page card are accepted by USPA. IMHO, you'll get more personal benefit as a skydiver by performing all of the tasks on the four page card under an Instructor or Coach.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tombuch 0 #3 July 10, 2005 USPA offers a two or four page card. Either is fine. I don't know what version of the four page card you have, but if an instructor is willing to finish it with you, then it will be valid. It shouldn't be a problem. If you compare the two cards, you will find the four page version is more detailed and more demanding. That's a good thing. Some DZO's like the simpler card because it makes their jobs easier, but the four pager makes your training better. .Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!
