Hello!

Hope to jump with you soon but I need some advice.

I'm a student having completed my AFF course at Toolgoolwah but not enough jumps to make the A license.

My last jump was in Kolomna, Russia in July 2008. I have a total of about 15 jumps. I haven't jumped since then.

Would I need to do the course again? Or is there some refreshment jumps that I can do?

Thanks!

Winston's on the money here - call, ask, check it out, then they'll check you out in person and prob get you to do a jump or two in with an instructor. Can't say for sure but it's unlikely that you would need to rest the FJC.
Welcome back to the sport, hope to see you out at Toogs!

Martin.

Only a Chief Instructor can make that judgement. Contact the Chief Instructor at your chosen dropzone. If you're going back to Toogoolawah, dave@ramblers.com.au

yeah, talk to macca, he'll assess you, you'll need to (at the very least) do a full day safety breifing, like the first day of your AFF course, then a jump with an instructor, or probably macca himself, to assess your freefall abilities. I went almost 5 years without a jump, and just an a licence, and this is what I went through.

welcome back
