C CoP requirements

[Den]

There is a new C CoP application form on the website that contradicts requirements shown on the web page that links to the new form. Can someone please clarify the C CoP requirements.

Also the new application indicates that a SSE is required as a signing officer, what if there is no SSE at your DZ??

Thanks and Blues

The new C CoP application is keyed to the 2010 revision of the PIM 1 - available on the CSPA website.

The requirements on the CWC section of the CSPA website have not been revised so best not refer to them if you want current information.

Barry,

Thank you for the responce.

The website lists PIM 1 as a 2008 version untill you click on the link and see that it is actually the April 2010 version, maybe this can be corrected to avoid future confusion.

My SSE requirement question seems to have been answered in section 1.21 where it states that Instructor B rating holders have the same privileges as a SSI and a SSE. Would I be correct to assume that 2 IB's with CA and LE ratings still have signing priviliges on the Solo,A and B CoP application forms?

The requirements on the CWC section of the CSPA website have not been revised so best not refer to them if you want current information.

Who should I contact to see about having current information on our website?

Thanks and Blue Skies

The dates of the edition of PIM 1 on the website has been corrected. Should you notice errors like that please contact me at webmaster@cspa.ca

As for the actual content of the web page you will have to contact the CWC. They provide the information and I just put it up. Contact Derek Orr to revise the actual info on the page.

Yes, that is correct.

"My SSE requirement question seems to have been answered in section 1.21 where it states that Instructor B rating holders have the same privileges as a SSI and a SSE.

am i correct in assuming that the accuracy requirments for the c license (15 jumps into a 10m circle) would also qualify you for an ejr at 500 jumps? the wording is different:

c cop:

Complete 15 consecutive pre-planned canopy standup landings to within 5m of a target.

ejr:

Perform 10 consecutive pre-planned accuracy jumps. Each landing must be standing up, and the jumper must make first contact and stop within a 10m diameter circle - witnessed by an EJR examiner. These pre-planned accuracy jumps may be witnessed by the following: SSE, C2, CF, LE, CSPA judge.

but they seem to point at the same thing. do they mean the same thing? if, for example, i touched down outside a 5m radius and slid to within 5m of the target, does that count for a c cop?

what about the witnessses for the ejr landing? first it says it must be witnessed by an ejr examiner, then goes on to list a bunch of other witnesses.

i should have just written the damn test last winter before the changes.

I have been looking around the latest PIMS and forums, and I cannot find an answer either.

Can it be assumed that since the "C" requirements are more strict than the EJR requirements, that once I earn a "C" CoP, that I automatically can earn an EJR as well?

Can someone from the CWC or another committee provide some official clarification?

Thanks!

The new PIM 1 will be released within the next week, it should clarify some of your questions.
and if it does not, please contact the T&SC as the EJR is not a CWC rating.
