psf 1 #1 January 15, 2006 My question is this... why is an A licensed person able to perform water jumps, but not required to take the water training unless they want to proceed to the B license? That does not make sense to me.ignorance is not bliss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labrys 0 #2 January 15, 2006 You don't have to get water training only because you want a B license. If you can do water jumps with an A, and you want to do them, then common sense dictates that you should go get the training first, right?Owned by Remi #?

An no instructor will allow you to jump in a lake without a thorough briefing.

The S&TA will not approve an intentional water jump without training. .Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!
