If you are actively in a program of student skydiving instruction at
another skydiving center, we would love to have you continue training with us. Transferring
to Skydive Orange should be easy.
If you have been trained along the lines of what we are doing at Skydive
Orange- almost all skydiving schools use similar basic training- and are actively training to get your license, we can usually fit you
right into our training progression. If you only have a few AFF jumps and have
jumped within the last 30 days, it should only require a little extra ground
training as long as you bring your logbook, yellow card if you have one, and
USPA membership card if you have already joined. However, we sometimes have
low time skydivers turn up without clear documentation of their skydiving
training. So please keep this in mind-
If we are not familiar with your level of instruction and skill, we will not
let you jump until we find out. This might require some time and effort on
the part of our instructional staff, jumps with jumpmasters or coaches at
levels far below what you might consider yourself qualified for. What we charge you for retraining
should not amount to much when you apply it to the many skydives you can
make when you continue skydiving here.
Despite being USPA member skydiving centers, lots of skydiving schools out
there use various training programs, so it might require a little extra going
over to make sure nothing is overlooked. There are also
different kinds of equipment being used at different skydiving centers, and we
need to make sure there is no confusion caused by the transition. Each
skydiving center has it's own culture.
If you are going through the training program and are beyond Category D, or
about Level 4 using the old AFF program, we
need to make sure you know what you need to in order to be safe and to
get the most out of additional training skydives. This requires lots of
effort on the part of our instructors, and it always seems like walk-ons like
to turn up unannounced on a
nice blue sky day. So we will charge a $75 orientation fee. If in the course
of instruction, we feel that you are knowledgeable and ISP
(or equivalent) -trained, then we will consider a partial rebate
depending on how much time and effort the instructor spends with you.
Needless to say, we need you to bring the appropriate documentation with you.
If you come here without the basic items of skydiving- logbook, USPA card and
license- we will make a reasonable effort to help you get in the air,
but remember that as in all things, a lack of planning on your part does not
constitute an emergency on our part, especially if it requires burning
daylight on the ground on a nice sunny skydiving day! We will give priority to those who come properly equipped to
skydive.
