Foreign AAD requirements

[flyusa 0]

Does anyone know of any country which requires the use of an AAD when skydiving? Like Mexico maybe?

There are many in government who have a very simple tax proposal in mind. There will be only two lines on the tax form: 1-How much did you make last year? 2-Send it.

In Europe, quite a few countries do.

Netherlands: up to your c license
France: always
Norway: always

Norway requires the use of an AAD OR a RSL.

Hmm maybe it was because I jump camera then

But "RSL or AAD" is a very stupid rule IMO, as they do 2 totally different things one cannot replace the other.

Skydive Los Cabos requires one. Why don't you check out the dropzones section of this website.

Canada has long required AADs for students and people who don't have an A Certificate.
However - for licensed jumpers - AADs are mandatory at some DZs, but not all.
For example, AADs are mandatory at the larger DZs in Quebec.
At the start of 2006, Ian Flanagan announced that AADs were mandatory for sub-B Certificate holders at his DZs near Vancouver, Calgary and Niagara.

In the UK AAD's are compulsory for A cert skydivers only.

This information is dated (from 2003) but it gives you an idea of what the requirements are (or were).

Australia: up to D licence (200 jumps), then from D to E (500 jumps) you must have an AAD or an RSL. Above 500, it's up to you.

Only on student rigs going to freefall.

Once off student status it is up to you.
All of our club freefall gear has AAD's.

Not a requirement though.
