APF vs. USPA License

Recommended Posts

I've aske da similar question before, but this is more relevant to my current situation..if anyone can help, that'd be awesome.

I currently have 20 jumps and completed my static line progression. My Australian DZ gave me the purple card and everything to get my Australian A license. Problem is, with that and the membership fee, it's about $100+ and I'm leaving Australia to go back home in TWO weeks. Is it worth even getting the license? Would it make it easier to get my US A license? Since supposedly it's an "international" license, I would be able to jump in the US with it, right?

Would I have to join the USPA if I was a member of the APF (I'm assuming I would)


Or should I wait until I get back to the US and go to a dropzone there, show them my logbook, and get them to sign me off? And, btw, what would that invove?

I might get up to 25 jumps while here, but I may not - it all depends on the weekend weather. I guess it'd be easier if I had 25, since that's the magic number for the A license back home.

A lot of questions, I know! Help a wuffo out!

Thanks!!

Quit making excuses and finish the APF license.



Excuses? I already FINISHED my APF license.

Regardless, I called both the USPA and APF and got a good answer.
Apply for the Australian A license without continuing my membership (on a 3 month temporary one) and join the USPA back home.
Then I'll get to use my A license without having to go through all the crap of going through the steps listed in the USPA A license with an instructor.
