Below are the requirements for a display jumper. If you'd like to be considered for the display team this season, please let the Team Leader or CCI know. You will need to complete the required pre-declared jumps and have your log book endorsed at the beginning of EVERY season. There is now a form endorsing all the pre-Display jumps which must be completed and signed
Bare in mind the type of canopy you intend to use, not all displays are suitable for high performance canopies, you will need an endorsement for every canopy type you might use. These are the rules.
Quoted below is the pertinant section from the BPA Ops Manual, if you have any questions or concerns, let us know. We have no B Certificate displays in Cyprus.
