[jimmy2.014 0]

Hello,


My name is jimmy and i've just taken a look at your website; i'm a french jumper, living in Paris and I'm looking for all kind of information regarding the reserve canopy packing course.
I could actually move to the US at any time to attend the courses & exams.


Could you please give me some info about the time, the requisites, the cost and the way i should apply for this training in the US?

Thank you for the info you could provide me!!


Yours.

and rigging is not just packing reserves... Should you attend one of the USAPR courses which I recommend, you will notice it quickly.

Salut Jimmy!

Why are you interested in traveling to the US to get certificated for rigging? The Federation Francaise de Parachutism is the national club for France. They teach 2-week classes for rigging. I found the course outline here:http://www.ffp.asso.fr/IMG/pdf/Plieur_formation_2011.pdf.

I think you will learn more about sewing and repair in a US course. The French course seems to focus on packing.

If your goal is to pack reserves in France, you must research the requirements. An FAA certificate may not let you pack in France. Or, it might.

I passed a rigging course 2011 from ChutingStar and do not regret. Mike showed lot of packing, sewing and repairing techniques, we made lot of tools for ourselves during the course. Provided that the price is half lower than from others, I would strongly recommend to pass the course from Mike team.
I liked «family» and good practice.

They do not have slots available for 2012 year, but probably have extra slots if anybody cancels the registration.
