Actually, once you have a Tandem Rating from a manufacturer the FAA does not require you to have an FAA Medical. The FAA does not require you to have an FAA Medical to receive the rating, the manufacturer does. Once you receive the rating the FAA does not require you to have the FAA Medical. The USPA requires any member who acts as Tandem Instructor to have the FAA Medical (or other medical acceptable to USPA). If you are not a USPA Member and are not jumping at a USPA Group Member DZ(which you would not be able to do anyway as a non USPA Member) you can act as a Tandem Master and be perfectly FAA legal.

Matches fine. UPT or any other manufacturer can set whatever requirement they wish for you to get their rating. They could tell you to dye your hair red and wear a tutu and that is what you would have to do for them to issue you the rating. FAA does not require you to have any FAA Medical to act as Tandem Master/Tandem Instructor. Mike

Your post was fine. Mike

I agree completely that if you lie on an FAA Medical then you would be in violation of FAA Regs and subject to criminal prosecution. Further, if you did take prohibited medications while having an FAA Medical your FAA Medical would no longer be valid, you would be prohibited from any operation where a FAA Medical would be required, and you would need to report the medication on your next FAA Medical application (if you choose to apply for another). You would not be in violation of any FAA Reg if you acted as Tandem Master/Tandem Instructor regardless of the status of your FAA Medical as an FAA Medical is not required by the FAA to act as a Tandem Master/Tandem Instructor. You would be in violation the the USPA BSR's if you acted as a TI without a valid FAA Medical. Mike

Just for clarification, the FAA does not require anyone to have a FAA Medical Certificate to act as a Tandem Master/Tandem Instructor. It is a USPA requirement, not an FAA requirement. You could take any prescription medication or any other over the counter medication that you wish without breaking any FAA rule. You would be in violation of only USPA rules if you took a medication that invalidates your FAA Medical. Mike Mullins USPA National Director Safety & Training Committee, Member

I did! It just won't work for me. You just did! Where did that frown emoticon come from? Just because you're old doesn't mean you have to be senile. And yes, I'm still fucking deaf. Obviously, subtle humor is lost on you.

I did! It just won't work for me.

No, I said I liked your shirt. I think you heard "fabric" when I said you were a "prick". Wink, wink, laugh, laugh (I can't figure out the emoticons).

Billy, It was not a Mullins that tossed the watermelon through the roof. It was a Mullins, Zack, that did win the contest. The watermelon went through the roof because skydivers will not follow instructions (what a shock!). Specifically, the jumpers were briefed that only the person dropping the melon may give corrections. Corrections, specifically, were not to be repeated by anyone. So the jumper gives 5 left and then 4 other jumpers repeat the correction for a total of 25 left. The jumper saw he was no lined up with the bathhouse but he said he just let it go anyway. BTW, are you still fuckin deaf? Maybe that is why you heard the story wrong! Mike

If you have to ask, you should not try it.

West Tennessee Skydiving, 3 hour, 50 minutes from Clarksville. http://www.SkydiveKingAir.com We did reply to your email from our website. Mike Mullins

He means West Tennessee Skydiving. One of our web addresses is: http://www.JumpElvis.com

Actually, you are speaking of West Tennessee Skydiving and we are 3 hours from Nashville. If you come, you will be impressed. http://www.SkydiveKingAir.com

From the SIM: "USPA C and D-license holders who have not made a freefall skydive within the preceding six months should make at least one jump under the supervision of a USPA instructional rating holder until demonstrating the ability to safely exercise the privileges of that license." Although he has in fact jumped in the last six months presumably his one tandem for his 85th birthday would not qualify him as "demonstrating the ability to safely exercise the privileges of that (D) license." Reply to the two above posts: First, the D License that was issued to President Bush is an "honorary" D License and confers nothing but the honor of having the license. He cannot exercise any of the privileges of a D License holder. It is similar to universities conferring honorary degrees on notable speakers at their graduation ceremonies. Second, USPA cannot, for any price, buy the positive publicity that President Bush has generated for our sport and I am personally proud that President Bush has chosen to be one of us. Third ( although not really relevant), the currency requirements quoted are not requirements at all, they are suggestions. The only requirements USPA Members must follow are the BSRs, everything past the BSRs in the SIM (except FARs) are suggestions, not requirements. There are absolutely no currency requirements in the BSRs for any license holder or student. Mike Mullins USPA National Director

So, the Cypres is an electronic life saving device that lays dormant for periods of time and then must read many parameters correctly to operate at the precise time it is needed. When is the last time you sent your car's Air Bag back for testing? Mike Mullins

The weather forecast on Monday for the coming weekend is totally irrelevant as any similarity between the forecast and what the actual weather will be is simply chance.

$200.00

The number of jumps is your option. You may make as few or many as you like, all your jumps will be critiqued by Luigi. There is no pass-fail in this course, you are here to learn, and what you gain from it depends on what you put into it. Mike
