Is that possible? Or even worth it??any advice for a beginner would be great!!

Sure did! Can I use the vid as proof??

Did you get a certificate after the jump to prove that you did it?

It probably doesn't matter anyway, as a tandem jump likely will not fulfill any requirements for obtaining a license.

Well, the use videos for proof all the time! I think a video of a tandem would be good enough to prove to me that it happened.

Talk to the guys at Lodi, show them the video... See what they say.

I was told that it does count as a jump and adds freefall time. Not much, but it is one of the required 25 jumps.

I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

I did a tandem in 2001. Then started AFF in 2004. I told my AFF-I I did the tandem and he logged the jump in my student logbook as jump #1. It didn't count towards my student training, but it did towards the 25 I needed for my A.

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

It would count as one jump out of his 25. When I did my tandem it counted as a CAT A, since I showed altitude awareness and pulled my own chute, not a lot but it is something. I had to ask to have it count as a Cat A and they gave me a small logbook and yellow card.

I heard the same, if it counts good!if not oh well!

It's exactly how Sean [Monky] explained it.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

You can log it, why not??? It means something to you and it is an experience you've had. Put it down.

It really won't mean much for the numbers, but why not put it in there. A year from now you'll be pushing 150 jumps and it'll be a good memory when you read about it.

Tandems count towards your freefall time and towards your license.
