Peej 0 #1 September 18, 2003 Hey guys, I was wondering how many skydives one needs to fly a suit in the States? In South Africa i think you need 200 jumps and then you can jump a suit with a coach. Thanks for the info Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vesatoro 0 #2 September 18, 2003 Here in Finland - 250 with a coach - 500 independently (coach still recommended) Vesa BMCI "Fear is the path to the Dark side" (Master Yoda) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #3 September 18, 2003 In the states it is 200(current) jumps with a Birdman Instructor or 500 by yourself but Instructor still recommended. The exception to that was at WFFC where we moved the minimum up to 300 due to the traffic patterns and the congestion for safety reasons."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
