Tandem rig type endorsements in Germany

Recommended Posts

Well... In Germany you get your TM Rating from either DAEC or DFV. They also offer the necassary insurance, in case you own a rig. You do not have to deal with the manufacturers and their ratings.

I have no experiences dealing with DAEC but dealing with DFV (www.fallschirmsportverband.de) is usualy straight forward and simple. If you have a foreign TM-Rating, you can apply to a german license, the form you need is this: http://www.metatag.de/webs/dfv/downloads/DFV_Antrag_Lizenz-Berechtigungen-Umschreibung_V5-10-2009.pdf

Best way to go would probably be a german TM Examiner who can give you all the necassary training and sign the forms...

In my case, I started TM training on a ATOM, did my first couple hundred tandems on Strong and then got my own Sigma. Everytime an experienced Tandemmaster on the system in question explained the new System and the differences to the systems I used before and signed my logbook. That`s it. Maybe you need a jump with an experienced jumper or examiner in front.
With the Sigma I went to an examiner, because nobody I knew already knew anything about the Sigma...

hope this helps.
