Temporary Parachute Certificates

General Info

Temporary Parachute Certificates are for experienced parachutists who intend to jump with NZPIA for a short time. Holders of acceptable non-NZPIA licences are eligible (if your licence meets the FAI certificate of proficiency standards, it will most likely be acceptable to NZPIA).

• Valid for 90 days from date of issue
• A, B, C, & D endorsements available, subject to eligibility criteria
• Low cost
• In most cases issued instantly online
• Not eligible for ratings (instructor, tandem master, etc.)

You can apply for the certificate at most NZPIA-affiliated drop zones (please ring them first to make sure). All parachutists must comply with the NZPIA’s operational procedures and standards when jumping at NZPIA-affiliated drop zones. A copy of the Documents, Standards and Procedures Manual is available at al NZPIA-affiliated drop zones.
