DustyP 0 #1 August 2, 2006 what does it take to jump tandem with someone else? is being an instructor the same a being able to jump tandem with someone? in other words do i have to be an instructor to jump a tandem rig?. if so, what does becoming tamdem instructor consist of? i have daydreams about jumping tandem with my soon to be wife, all over with geographical terrain and huge land marks. Moutains, coastal lines, anythings that would have tons of visual rewards.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 14 #3 August 2, 2006 Yes, to jump a tandem rig you must be an instructor. I'll creaeta short list of the requirements. Coach rating, 500 jumps, 3 years in the sport.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

packing_jarrett 0 #5 August 3, 2006 ok for a coach rating...(hate to get off topic). Alls you need is 100 jumps and uspa license. So I can be 16 right? The sim says you have to have a license but if you read on its says something about 18. Is this like and...or?Na' Cho' Cheese Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feuergnom 22 #6 August 3, 2006 slightly off topic: with 16 you will hardly be in the sport for 3 years & won't have accumulated 500 jumps and you are not ready for going TIThe universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
