RandomLemming 0 #1 March 4, 2006 All, I'm doing my AFF through freefalluniversity in March, but it's looking like I definitely won't be getting my A licence due to time constraints. I'm trying to find out exactly what I need to be able to jump in the USA. I want to jump in Santa Barbara and Las Vegas. Will my AFF and my consolidation jumps be enough, or am I wasting my time with this ? Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkM 0 #2 March 4, 2006 You'll need to contact the DZs and talk to them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdj6p 0 #3 March 5, 2006 You should contact Brad a skydive mesquite since that is the only around las vegas to jump (OK not technically, but is absolutely the best.). If I had to guess I would say all you should need are a log book, a way to verify the log book, and a u.s.p.a. membership. The membership can be taken care of at the D.Z. Death is so permanant, and I'm just not ready for that kind of committment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogwarrior 0 #4 March 5, 2006 Hi Wayne, We look forward to meeting you at the Freefall University. Firstly it is concievable that we can get you to your A license. I have sent you onwards references to read for the USPA A license you are looking for. That being said , you do not need to have achieved the license but passed the AFF course at the Freefall Uni to be allowed to skydive solo in the US. Your logbook will have all the contact details for the admin office on the DZ so the DZ in Vegas can contact us to verify the information in the logbook ( alhough its rare that they would consider the need to do so ). In regards to your DVD / VHS we use PAL and the US is NTSC . We will look at a way of encoding the DVD in NTSC for you also so that it can easily be played there. Thirdly we will establish communications proactivley with the DZ you intend to jump at and have your personal trainer here , talk with the head honcho over there. Ultimatley as our dropzone in Ocana is affiliated to the United States Parachute Association , i dont see that there is any problem to jump there based on our qualification and think we may being a touch overkill on the issue of jumping in the US. my advise is to sit back , relax and look forward to the ride of your life ! Best wishes and Blue skies, David , Sam and Paula Freefall University Ocana http://www.freefalluniversity.co.uk tel 0207 0600 174 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
