John4455 0 #1 April 24, 2003 How many of you out there are pro rating holders? What size and type of canopy did you use to get it, and how many jumps did it take you to do 10 pre declared? How do ya like it Johnny? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jethers203 0 #5 April 25, 2003 I am planning on getting mine this summer. I jump a Sabre 2 150 loaded at 1.5. It is gonna take 10 jumps in theory. How is the written test? A big pain in the ass or what? What is the answer to #3? Just kidding. John D-24352 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tombuch 0 #9 April 25, 2003 I earned mine on a Sabre 120 loaded at 1.5. I have always tried to land in the peas, traffic permitting, so it wasn't all that tough to do in 10 jumps. The idea behind using the Sabre 120 was to qualify for my reserves...a PD 126 and PD 143. There is a bit of psychological pressure at about jump number 7, but you can get past that with a bit of focus...something you will need to do on high pressure demos.Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!

SkymonkeyONE 3 #10 April 25, 2003 That's point of "stop." Not really any different than doing zone accuracy in a swoop meet. In a demo where one would jump such a small parachute, your landing area is obviously set up different; sort of like a bowling lane. The GK tandem team sets up cones in a rectangle out in front of the beer line here at Raeford and works on their PRO tandem accuracy there. Once again: every jump should be an "accuracy" jump. If you aim for a certain spot on the ground on every jump, then the PRO requirements are very simple. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #12 April 25, 2003 Earned the PRO rating last month. Spectre-135 in 10 jumps. Currency on your chosen canopy is the key. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
