Tandem masters
We are asking tandem masters and camera flyers to donate their services again for 2010. That’s the way you can best show your support for Jump Start, as a member of the skydiving community.  And of course, you get to jump out of the Herc with your passengers. 

Camera flyers 
The purpose of having camera flyers is to provide the students with a quality DVD of their tandem experience, including ground shots, a group shot and possibly a shot at the presentation of certificates. So you must have commercial experience to be a camera flyer. Be prepared to be on call all day, documenting the jumps and the ground activity. Sony camera tapes will be provided and will be returned to the Jump Start organizers at the end of the day.  Jump Start reserves the rights of photographs & film footage shot during the event. Such footage/photography will only be used for promotion of Jump Start events. We will provide a brief for all camera flyers on the day. 

Packing
We ask that the Tandem Master & Camera flyers to take care of packing their own equipment.

Why must I carry an NZPIA certificate or rating ? 
In New Zealand the law requires you to hold a parachutist certificate issued by the Parachute Organisation that the Drop Zone you are jumping at is operating under. In the case of Jump Start, the Parachute Organisation the event operates under at Whenuapai is NZPIA (ASC Parachute Section).  So to participate at Jump Start you must hold an NZPIA certificate or rating.  

If you don’t hold an NZPIA certificate or rating  ?
If you currently do not hold an NZPIA certificate or rating, NZPIA will assist you in obtaining one if required. NZPIA have decided to support this event by sponsoring fees associated with issue of such certificates or ratings.
