timpearson 0 #1 May 11, 2001 under the equipment section of the new "a" license proficiency card, what is "demonstrate inspection, donning, use and general maintenance of all equipment to be used on the jump"--i'm just wondering which equipment, and what is donning.....

Donna 0 #3 May 11, 2001 Donning means putting on. Basically it sounds like it means that you can do a gear check (3 handles, pins, AAD, 3 rings, RSL, etc.) and put it all (rig, helmet, goggles, altimeter, water gear etc.) on properly and know how maintain everything.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #5 May 11, 2001 The equipment in question is everything you need to skydive: rig, helmet, altimeter, etc. It means you can turn your Cypres on. It means you don't put your goggles on upside down. Donning simply means "to put something on". All that criteria should, obviously, have been met in the FJC.Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #6 May 11, 2001 So I guess all of those signatures in my logbook by "Don Equipment D12345" are not legit?!?!?Respectfully,SP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
