- The Club Chief Instructor is God: what he/she says goes!
- All jumpers (including tandem passengers and other students) must be a member of the Australian Parachute Federation.
- Maximum wind speed for jumping is 25 knots if you have over 100 jumps and ram-air main and reserve. Otherwise you are limited to 20 knots. For students, it's 15 knots.
- Australian aviation measures altitude in feet - but a metric altimeter is acceptable.
- Tandem passengers are classified as students, and must come under the supervision of a Chief Instructor and a training organisation. Minimum age for a tandem passenger is 12 years.
- We have "E" and "F" licences. Most countries do not issue licences above "D". Our higher licences essentially allow the holder to jump into tighter display areas (so long as you also have a Display Licence).
- We have a 12 month repack cycle for reserve parachutes for Licensed members (APF Certificate Class B - F). Student, Novice, Tandem and Pilot emergency parachute equipment have a 6 month repack cycle.
