billbooth 10 #26 August 20, 2003 The RWS has no specific recommendation about the number of tandem jumps a Tandem Instructor should be allowed to do in one day. There are simply too many variables. Is it hot? Is he packing too? Is she a marathon runner? You should simply stop jumping when you get too tired to do the job safely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyfrog 0 #27 August 20, 2003 Thanks. That's just about what I figured. I know how much difference there can be between doing ten tandems in 105 degree heat out of Cessnas and doing 15 on a cool day out of a turbine. Thanks again for the input!

TrickyDicky 0 #28 August 21, 2003 I get the feeling unfortunatly that limits will be imposed only when a serious incident happens that was caused by instructor fatigue UK Skydiver for all your UK skydiving needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skypilot 0 #29 August 21, 2003 Good on the guys involved! I work down under and the most I know of any one doing over here in a day is 17 and yes it was out of a 182 but with packers! I have down 15 in a day not packing and done 12 in a day 2 times packing by myself! They do big numbers in New Zealand with packers and a cresco!Go big!

NickDG 23 #30 May 21, 2005 When in New Zealand in the mid-90s I remember Anthony Oakley doing the most tandems in one day. I can't remember the exact number now, and won't post what I think the number was as I don't think anyone would believe it . . . Maybe someone from NZed remembers and can fill in the number . . .
