SIM rule change about jumping with students ????

Recommended Posts

Yes... If the DZ allows.... (edit, the SIM does not say the DZ has to approve, but any DZ can make their own rules stricter than the SIM, or not even follow the SIM if they don't want, so I guess the DZO still is the final decision maker)

You can do:

a "D" + student
a "D" + "D" + student
a "D" + "D" + student + student

But - what I don't get is why you can't do:
a "D" + "D" + "C" + student.

Somehow the USPA thinks that two students is safer than three licensed skydivers with at least two "D" and one non-"D".

(I am guessing the reason is that they know the "student" is under the control of the "D", whereas the "C" would not be?)

The moral to the story - if you like doing 4way and your best friend is not an "A" yet, hold off on your own "A" because you can't jump with them once you get your "A"...

USPA D license holders provided there is a minimum
ratio of one D license holder to one student
with a maximum of a 4-way.
