riggerrob 558 #2 April 2, 2005 If you have 50 or 100 (I forget the exact number) tandem jumps, then you only have to do the ground school and a couple of jumps with a Strong Tandem Examiner. Make sure you have a fresh Class 3 medical when you report for training, fresh membership card for Brazilian Parachute Federation, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #5 April 2, 2005 Strong's website used to have a Tandem Examiner Directory, but I can't find it there anymore. I found the crossover requirements on this website from folks who offer Strong Tandem Instructor Courses. 100 tandems is the Strong crossover requirement - I did mine that way from Vector/Sigma to Strong.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
