Nightingale 0 #26 March 15, 2004 I rode the plane down on my level 2. The main JM stayed with me. The reserve JM snagged a solo student and did a jump with him. I was fine with that. I think I'd have really freaked if both JMs had jumped and left me all alone in the back of that big skyvan with the door open. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #27 March 15, 2004 QuoteOK - time for a little clarification. I'm really talking about what you would call coach jumps. USPA allows jumpers with a coach's rating to supervise students (defined by me as anyone that does not have a license) on levels F,G,H. These 'students' have been cleared by an instructor as being able to exit stable, and pull without assistance.Quote OK thanks for the clarification. In Canada coaches coach and instructors instruct; it's kept very distinct. If the USPA says they need some supervision then I think you need to stay in the plane. As far as who's paying the slot, I think the nicest DZO in the world is still a businessperson first. It's important to not let them set precedents like that. Whether a student gets in the plane for marginal weather should be the pilot's or DZO's call.

It's courteous for one thing. If there's an in flight emergency, and the student has to bail, an instructor should be there. Lots of reasons have been stated already. In Eds case, if he's the reserve side, the main side jumpmaster will stay with the student.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...
