1.5 Progression beyond Cat 8
Once the student has reached Cat 8, he or she may
progress in a number of ways. Still the most common is to
flat fly amd attain IC1 and FS1, and to qualify for a 'C'
licence once 200 jumps has been reached. FS-1 skill may
be learnt with Warp progression or Skydive-U. This
exactly matches the earlier progression to Cat 10
culminating in a blue 'D' licence.
For those who don't want to follow the flat flying route,
it is possible to go to style (IS1) or canopy formation
(CF1). Prerequisite to FF1 is either FS1 or IS1, and FF1
is required before starting SS1.
Qualification in each of these disciplines will be
awarded by a CCI and will be endorsed in the parachutists
FAI licence book. This takes the form of a sticker,
signed by the CCI, and may also be used in the blue
licences.
