skyknight32 0 #1 August 15, 2014 I am looking for an answer to a question. I was an IAD instructor but have let my rating lapse. What must I do to reinstate my rating? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 3 #3 August 15, 2014 Did you also let your USPA lapse? I don't have the answer in front of me, but it's covered in the IRM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyknight32 0 #4 August 15, 2014 No, I didn't let my USPA lapse. I asked my DZO about it and he emailed a USPA director, but haven't received a responseQuote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites stayhigh 2 #5 August 15, 2014 1. Go find IAD examiner. 2. Give the IAD examiner some money. 3. Give more money to USPA. 4. Make that money back by throwing students out of the airplane.Bernie Sanders for President 2016 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites GLIDEANGLE 1 #6 August 16, 2014 I tried cutting and pasting your answer here, but had no success. You can find your answer in this heavily abridged (albeit FREE) version of the IRM (see page 80) http://www.uspa.org/Portals/0/Downloads/Man_IRMEssentials.pdfThe choices we make have consequences, for us & for others! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skyknight32 0 #7 August 16, 2014 Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ufk22 32 #8 August 16, 2014 USPA says find an I-E, put out one student and take the test. I say depends on how long it's lapsed and how much you used it prior to lapse. If you haven't worked with students for years and/or didn't do much with the rating when you had it, I might want more. A couple of years ago a guy wanted to renew an I rating that had lapsed over 10 years. I had him go through a complete rating course. Bottom line, it's not just what USPA says, it's what it takes to make an I-E comfortable signing you off.This is the paradox of skydiving. We do something very dangerous, expose ourselves to a totally unnecesary risk, and then spend our time trying to make it safer.
