USPA Safety and Training Comittee:
I have seen a growing amount of support to make some modifications to the current process to become a USPA Coach and a USPA AFF Instructor. I respectfully request that the topic be brought up for discussion at your earliest convienence.
Some suggested changes:
1. Increase the requirement to be eligible for the USPA Coach rating to 200 jumps and a C license.
2. Add a 12 month as a USPA Coach requirement to be eligible for a Tandem I or AFFI.
3. Add a AFF jumpmaster rating to all new graduates of the AFFCC.
4. Add 12 month requirement as a AFFJM to be eligible for the AFFI rating.
Obviously, this would open up the above for discussion and require input from all parties involved. Thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully Submitted,
Rich Winstock D19054 (S&TA, Tandem I/E, Coach I/E, AFFI)

The amount of feedback pouring in is honestly overwhelming because I keep thinking about how these changes would actually shift the training culture on the dropzone. It is wild to see so many people from different disciplines jumping in to echo these thoughts since I really just typed this up late one night not knowing if anyone else even felt the same way.

this would really help with standardization. teaching is serious business and people need more time in the seat before moving up.
YES. please make this happen.
100 percent agree. way too many new jumpers rushing into instruction before they have the actual experience to back it up.
long overdue. safety should be the priority not how fast someone can get a rating. hope the committee actually listens to this.
glad someone finally said it. seen way too many green instructors out there lately.

Totally support this. the jump numbers need to be higher if we want to keep the sport safe.
