schuey87 0 #1 May 18, 2005 This probably seems like a really silly question, but I've seen it posted around here a few times reading a few posts, what does it stand for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #3 May 18, 2005 To add to Derek's perfectly correct answer - we don't have S&TA's in the UK; they're a US position. The closest you'll find to one here is our CCI or Center Chief Instructor. Their jobs are broadly the same with regard to their duties on the DZ.

tombuch 0 #5 May 18, 2005 It the United States it is a Safety and Training Advisor, a volunteer that serves as a bridge between USPA and the local jumpers. I cover the topic with regard to S&TA's at The Ranch in article 3 "What is an S&TA" available at http://ranchskydive.com/safety/index.htm. You may find a few other articles there of interest, but keep in mind everything on the site is written for jumpers at The Ranch. .Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!
