livenletfly 0 #1 October 27, 2005 im curious as to what the different classifications are and if you cats feel this rating system is a good thing. i like saftey but dont like overgoverning. i wonder if countries with ff ratings have less freefall incidents than we do in the states. one thing i do like about your method is it probably keeps zoodives to e lesser degree. i get frustrated when fflyers get on dives way out of the ability and i spend the whole jump watching these people zoom around rather than having a good jump. thats the reason i dont always care for load organizing. no one likes to disclude jumpers from being part of jumps but this shit is expensive, and its no fun being on a dive that never stood a chance of working because everyone was allowed to play.> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pendragon 1 #2 October 27, 2005 For the UK, go to: http://www.bpa.org.uk/forms.htm Scroll down and click on F188 (Guidelines for FF1 & FF2) FF1 relates to head-up; FF2 related to HD. Essentially, you are unable to do any head-up flying with anyone else (apart from a recognised coach, i.e. someone the CCI recognises as being capable) until you have FF1. Same is true for HD and FF2, although in reality, this can get abused. In Germany, there are no formal requirements; no rules in place to stop you freeflying straight after qualifying.

bob.dino 0 #3 October 28, 2005 In Australia, you need a B licence to start freeflying. To jump in a group bigger than three people you must have a freefly crest, which demonstrates your ability on your head and on your feet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
