jump log

[ffp1974 0]

I am going to take a month off from work and travel around and go skydiving.

My skydive log is on my computer via paralog software.

Now when I go to a new drop zone, will they request to see my log?

Do I bring them a computer or do I bring them a hard to read print out of the log?

Thanks Francis

I let a dropzone here in Ohio know i was coming and that i would not have a log book, but explained i had been jumping all summer in Georgia.

I think they made a quic phone call and i didnt have any problems.

I wonder if just presenting my uspa card with 425 jumps listed on it, would suffice for carrying a log book?

It all depends on the DZ. I had to get a log book and get it signed for Lake Wales a few years ago, even though I had a Neptune and a ProTrack that showed current jumps. They didn't want to talk to my home DZ, they didn't want anything but a signed jump showing that I was current.

So I wrote out a log entry and had it signed. Obviously it was a fool proof system.

Do you mean a uspa license card?

A C license might show that you have surpassed 200 jumps but it doesn't help to show currency.

Here is an even tougher question. I have not jumped in about ten months, the dropzone I will be going to has only seen me jump once and they do not remember me or anything. My logbook was stolen along with my entire car so i have basically no proof that I have jumped. The only proof I have is my video of my first 8 jumps or so. I called the dropzone and they are not to sure what I should do. Any advice or information?

Prolly not...I've never been to a DZ that didn't ask for a log book. Like AggieDave said, you're better off with a signed entry on a log...very easy to comply with

If you have a few jumps and haven't jumped in 10 months, any DZ will prolly want you to redo the FJC. You can prolly find someone that will cut you a deal because of the previous training, but don't "expect" that!

Get your ass out there and jump

I have been to a few dropzones that will insist upon a signed logbook as the only acceptable "evidence" that you are current. You may want to take the time to create one before you leave. It doesn't have to start from jump 1 - it could start from jump 400 (assuming the 418 in your profile is accurate). Log jumps 400 through 418, have 'em signed (preferably by a couple different people, but really, as long as they're signed no one's going to care that much) and there you have it ... "proof" of currency.

I've also been to a lot of DZs that don't ask for a logbook - all they care about is that my membership & license are current and that my reserve is in date.

And then there's Lodi, where I just hand 'em $15 and get on the plane.
