which is still ridicilous.. Just curious, why do you consider it ridiculous? In your opinion, should it be more? Less? Why? Just wondering what your reasoning is. at my dz, typically you have somewhere between 80-100 jumps, on others around here it may be in the range of 50 or so jumps; just a little more confidence you're not going to fuck yourself or others up, proved you can accomplish different tasks, have taken a written exam (like for your C-license if i'm correct!?), can pack and "un-mess" your parachute and so on.. you know how to fly a safe (!!!) pattern and know what vertical and horizontal separation is, you can hit your intended target by 50 or so feet.. just things like that. you cant accomplish that in only 25 jumps.. all of that is pretty much accomplished in 25 jumps. the test is also written (at least where i got my A). i agree with you that confidence comes with experience (or your a dumbass), i have been asked on jumps that i felt were too many variables than i could handle, my answer was simply no, i dont feel comfortable doing that yet. its kept me and others safe so far.
