Cantoral 1 #1 February 2, 2016 How many tandem certifications you have? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #2 February 2, 2016 Your poll is a little screwed up. For example I have a strong rating/USPA rating, but I never cross trained and got my Sigma rating because until now my dropzone only owned strong rigs."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantoral 1 #3 February 2, 2016 I think you are right, I should have included more options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dokeman 0 #4 February 2, 2016 You left out vector, racer, eclipse, and USPA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverek 60 #5 February 3, 2016 In some countries, once you pass a government "General Tandem Certification", you may jump ANY tandem system there is. Stupid if you ask me, because these tandem system differ in regards to handle positions, emergency procedures, etc... Also, you for forgot about: - Wings - Next - Atom - ParaAvis - Mars - Advance - SWS ...and, as pointed above: - Vector - Racer - Eclipse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 598 #6 February 4, 2016 Strong Dual Hawk Examiner Never jumped a Strong TN Racer TI Vector I TI (pre-drogue) Vector 2 TI Sigma TI I have jumped several tandem mains made by Icarus. A long time ago, I also jumped tandem gear made by Weckbecker (sp?) and Parachutes de France. Never earned a "national" TI rating and think the concept silly until all the manufacturers standardize handles. With luck the last Eclipse and Strong Dual Hawk will retire before 2018. All the Racers, etc should have been converted to Vector-pattern handles a decade ago (2006). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
