Yes, I've read the faq, however the faq concentrates on Wingsuit flying and says nothing about tracking suits and I've read in a few places that the prerequisite for tracking suits is significantly less than for wingsuits. If the faq answered my questions, then I would not have created this thread.

Hey. I'm new to skydiving and about to get my A license. I've been reading about different disciplines in the sport online and have recently become intrigued by tracking suits. I tried doing a couple searches but couldn't find what I was looking for. Here are my questions; -How many jumps is it recommended I have under my belt before I first fly a tracking suit? I know ultimately that its my comfort level that should determine when I am ready to take anything to the next level but I don't want to be overconfident. -When first getting into tracking suits, what kinds of things/skills should I work on, practice, and ask about around the dropzone? I know that jump planning will be more crucial to avoid freefall conflicts with other jumpers and to avoid flying away from the landing zone. What kinds of things need to be taken into consideration? Where would someone with a tracking suit be in the exit order of jump run? And, what would a typical jump plan be? -Is it recommended that when first learning a tracking suit I start with just the pants or is it alright to start with the pants and jacket? What kind of pants and jacket should I go with? I would like something that I can learn on and start with earlier but I want it to keep my interest. I'm looking at the PF Tracking Suit and the BM Impact suit right now. The BM Impact suit has really got my interest because of the pants only, pants + jacket, and pant + jacket + pant wing options seem like a good way to keep upgrading performance once skill has improved. Sorry for all the questions but I'm really interested in this and wanted to know what the sky guru's had to say. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
