Airshow / Demo Jumpers - RECENT info needed

[fcajump 164]

Bottom Lines:
I have done demos and airshows for years. Demos need the 7711-2 filed for Cert of Auth, airshows include the jumper as a noted item on the airshow waiver which has always satisfied the Cert of Auth requirement.

Got a new oranizer this year who tells us that he is being told by the Feds that there is a NEW requirement to file the 7711-2 Cert of Auth request (for part 105) for a jump into the airshow seporately from the 7711-2 Waiver request for the airshow itself.

I think (hope) that he is simply misunderstood being new.

Anyone else run into this "new requirement" for seporation/duplication of paperwork??

Thanks,
JW

PS - please (no offense intended) if you have not worked with airshow/demo paperwork, we can discuss it in a seporate thread, please keep this thread for those that actually work with this stuff routinely.

I wonder if he's maybe referring to the TSA background check/authorization that is sometimes required...



Edited to add:
I just went through 105 & 7711 and I sure don't see anything different...you may want to get the name & number of the fed in question and turn the concerns over to Mr. Ottinger at USPA for clarification.

I think it has a lot to do with the FIDO you are dealing with. When I was active I had it go both ways so I was always prepared to file a 7711.

Out of 4 air shows in the last month, one of them had a separate 7711-2 filed for parachute demonstration operations. Which FSDO are you working with?

OK... finally got word back from the airshow boss (new guy)... He did not understand some of the jumping portions. Once we got him on the same page all is well.

While I have done a supplimental CoA to a existing (season long) airshow waiver, this was a new notion to have a seporate CoA for a single day airshow (at least out of the Wash DC FSDO)

Thanks for all the input. Nice to have others to pull from.

PS - TEAM FASTRAX - NICE job at RIR this weekend!! My wife and I were in the stands for both races and the team pulled off both jumps flawlessly. (though the track announcers/coordinators did a lowsy job mentioning it to the race fans.)

PPS - My rig was right out in the car guys...
